My first hand at the table and I got it wrong IMO.

My thoughts and comments:

Preflop: This looks a good blind defense with this hand. This one I like it.

Flop: I should have raised! Hoping he folds or check the turn so I can either take the free card if missed or bet again the turn and hope he will fold and I get a free showdown (if I miss the river card) ?

What do you think?

Or do you fold the flop?


Thanks

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8d, Jd. UTG posts a blind of $10.
UTG (poster) checks, 3 folds, SB raises, Hero calls, UTG folds.

Flop: (5 SB) 9c, 4h, 7c (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (3.50 BB) 5h (2 players)
SB bets, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 4.50 BB

Results below:
No showdown. SB wins 4.50 BB.

Fold it at the flop. Heads up a gutshot is not going to be profitable. Small pot with hardly any players, that means you want to play big cards. j8 doesn't really apply there.

sinec you did call the flop, i would call the turn because it just gave you 4 more outs (the 6s)
