PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

SB ($2.52)
BB ($2.70)
UTG ($1.95)
Hero (UTG+1) ($5.15)
MP1 ($0.49)
MP2 ($2.88)
CO ($3.42)
Button ($3.05)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K, K
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.08, MP1 calls $0.08, 5 folds

Flop: ($0.19) 8, J, 10 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.20, MP1 calls $0.20

Turn: ($0.59) 2 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.21

Is this generally correct play, or should I have just put him all-in on the flop? Or maybe like .15 on the flop and .26 into .49 on the turn is better? As played, an A-high flush draw, especially if it's paired (AcJ, AcT, Ac8), has great odds (4:1 with 30% equity) to call on the turn (Ac9 has 40%). Then again, his whole range doesn't have odds to call the turn when he might think he does (e.g. KxQc, QcT, etc. is under 20%), so this can't be all bad. Also, I couldn't really plan for this specific turn card, so I liked betting at least pot on the flop.

he's way too short stacked to even consider shutting down on that turn card imo. the few times he shows up with top pair makes up for this

and we have the king of clubs

Oh, I would never fold this hand. I was just wondering if I should have bet any differently.

.20 on the flop and .21 on the turn is strange. Bet at leat .60 on this flop, if not $1.

He only has .41 left. My plan was to pot the flop and put the rest in on any turn. So I should have just put him in on the flop?

I'm not posting this because I got bad beat or coolered or anything. I just tend to never overbet the pot, and I'm wondering if maybe this would have been a good spot to do it. As played, it worked out exactly the way I wanted when he called both bets with AcT, and the river wasn't an A or club. I just didn't want to be results-oriented.

Um... the eff stack is .49. Pot the flop, get him in on the turn. IMO only thing open shoving the flop does is fold out a chunk of what you beat. But there ain't .60 to be had anywhere in this hand....

Whether it's a bad beat or not doesn't matter, but it's nice to see people posting hands they won and are still interesting in analyzing.

Stack size is important here. You're opponent is pot comminted after the flop, so meh...get him AI on the turn and don't drag the hand out. There's no way he's not calling, and there's no way you're laying down for .41.

I tend to put in 1/3 of his stack on the flop and 2/3 on the turn
it has the best chance of getting called

so 14c on the flop, the rest on the turn

I like that approach, and that is what I would usually do, but this board hit his range so well that I felt like anyone that called .14 on the turn would also call .20, especially at these stakes. I also thought that with so many draws on the board, betting .14 at a pot of .19 is giving a lot of his holdings good drawing odds. In this instance, however, your approach would have worked a lot better. Betting .27 into .47 on this particular turn seems a lot more sensible than .21 into .59.

I mean it doesn't really matter, but pot sized bet on the flop is a lot more convincing than a "standard" 2/3 cbet

There really isn't much to work with when the villain has .49 preflop.

No fold, no way.
