    Default It seemed like a good idea at the time

    Crypto converter had some issues with this one, since the villain posted both blinds UTG. A couple hands before this he lost his stack when he cold-called a raise on the button with KQo. I overcalled with 44 in the blinds. Flop Q43 (2 hearts), I lead out, preflop raisor calls, Villain raises half his stack then calls my all in.

    He sat out a couple hands, then reloaded and posted UTG. I've reconstructed the hand, so the action should be correct now.

    Cryptologic - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.25/$0.50 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

    SB: $49.50
    BB: $50.00
    UTG: $50.00
    Hero (MP): $106.30
    CO: $135.02
    BTN: $66.25

    Preflop: Hero is dealt K K (6 Players)
    UTG checks, Hero raises to $2.50, 4 folds, UTG calls $2.00

    Flop: ($5.75) 9 6 5 (2 Players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $4.50, UTG calls $4.50

    Turn: ($14.75) T (2 Players)
    UTG checks, Hero bets $11.00, UTG raises to $24.00...


    As soon as I made my raise I realized that I really should have checked behind on the turn. I'm drawing dead to 78, and in trouble against any random 2 pair/set he could well have. Given that he had a pretty random hand preflop, has overplayed top pair 2nd kicker and now could be tilting, what's my plan from here?
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

    I'm happy getting it AI in this situation, but I'm prone to underestimating donks who post UTG and might be tilting.

    I think checking the turn is bad. He could have several pair with a straight draw type hands. I don't mind getting it allin here. Him possibly tilting is even more reason to.
