    I hesitated whether to c-bet on the flop, but I didn`t. It was a dificult hand for me overally. Comments?

    I'm open folding KJ here in MP.

    However his calling range from the bubble I'd imagine to be pretty tight after all it's 25% of his stack, what had he been playing like? Manic, Passive etc. Is he the type of player to call of 1/4 stack with A7/JQ type hands?
    Far too many hands beat you on the turn, I'm guessing he had JQ or a ten of some kind.

    I will be interested in what the others say.
    Your stack is only 13BB, so it is not yet push fold mode, but you are close to it.

    First off, your position is not very good, so a fold here is not bad imo.


    If I decide to raise, i would maybe raise only to 250, but this is minor.
    The flop looks dangerous, but you are heads up, I think a CB is ok here (half pot). Checking is weak. If opp calls, it will be check/fold on turn river unless you hit a Q. Ih he raises I am out of here.

    On the turn, you are raised, I would fold here.

    Personally I would open fold KJ from MP as well. With 13x BB I am looking for a spot to open push or to save my chips for a good pushing spot.

    If you are going to raise, I agree with karnouk, I make it 250 to go and I c-bet the flop for 1/2 pot and give up if raised or called.

    As played, I would cry and fold the turn, there isn't too much that you beat here.
