I thought this spot is underbluffed, but then the sizing (plus the flush blocker) lured me. Really didn't expect a set there. Fishy?

Cbet the flop around 60% pot then triple barrel. As played it’s a shrug call with your hand.


Wow, really suprised that you bet this flop (haven't memorized flops a lot, just tend to check a lot OOP, especially on low boards).


I don't think KQo is profitable in utg open range, at least not for me.

Turn probably an easy fold.


Ups, the flop spot is in position. Then it’s not that surprising to bet small.. Turn fold is exploitative because turn check-raise are underbluffed?

Yea, it's an underbluff spot especially at micros. Maybe in high stakes it's the other way around. I dunno.
Very few players check/raise this turn with draws. There are, but few, and they're usually aggro/tricky to begin with.
