    50NL 5 max table. Hero's stack is $48. Villians stack is $52.

    Dont remember position, but do remember hero bets before villian.

    Hero delt Ad As
    Hero bets $2
    Bet folds to villian who calls.
    Flop Jh Kd Ks
    Hero bets $2
    Villian calls
    Turn is 7d
    Hero bets $2
    Villian raises $10

    What do you do?

    Villian was a tight player. I folded figuring him to have trip K's. But I tend to always think the worst. He called a $2 preflop bet on 5 max table, so he could have had KJ, AK, maybe even JJ.

    P.S. I ended a 2 hour session 2 tabling 50NL 5 max up $90. So I look at that as a good fold now, but at the time I made the decision I was wondering if it was a good fold or not.

    I'd certainly bet more on the flop, betting $2 on the flop and especially $2 on the turn looks really weak, it's just like telling him you don't have a king. At least that's what I would think being in his spot and I'd raise you without a king.

    bet 2/3-full pot on the flop. Without a read the turn is hard after he just coldcalls the flop, but I'm inclined to bet 2/3pot on the turn without a read. After that I look for a cheap showdown.

    As played its hard to know if opp is raising you with a worse hand/air, cuz your weak turnbet just screams being raised. I think I fold, cuz this looks like a classic slowplay. Next time bet bigger though, and try have a read.
