    Default seemingly simple spot, maybe a leak

    vill is unknown just sat down. Is this a spot where i should just be c/fing if i don't intend on barreling? I figure this board hits my UTG range hard, but does this merit a cbet. Should i jst take these small pp's out of my utg range.

    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    I open all pairs unless there's someone loose with position on me.

    I don't put money in the pot with underpairs postflop when oop vs most opponents.

    Give him a flatting range and work out how many combos continue to a c-bet, how many fold to a c-bet and then work out what % fold. Compare this aginst how often you need folds to be BE with this bet and decrease this a tiny smidge for your minimal 2 outs worth of equity vs his continuing range.

    This is one of the worst hands to barrel with so check-folding the flop is probably best.

    Are people in favor of C/F flop C/Fing on a flop of K82 rainbow as well?

    Much closer, gets very player dependent at this point. I think my standard would be to cbet that one unless villain's a nit.

    i dont mind betting once here at all. id say it performs just about as well as cf. that being said, at .50/1 your best line might be to play for flop check/check and then barrel twice on most turns and rivers. you'll be very surprised how often that line works!

    Not sure how serious you were about using this line, but i experimented anyway ... lol success! I assume i need a lowish cbet % for this to work so i can rep a wider value range credibly? This isn't a great board to do this on though right? As the turn brings BD draws, and Jx won't fold often enough?

    I was surprised at all the c/f's for the first hand. feel like I'm cbetting here a very high %. Makes me wonder if I'm not c/f nearly enough!
