How is this line? I was new to the table, so no reads, except the table stats from the lobby were $40 average pot and 70% of players to the flop, if that means anything. I was kind of worried of KdXd but hate giving free cards or making my decisions any more difficult by checking the turn.

Poker Room skin
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $100
CO: $74.80
Button: $122.40
SB: $252.20
hero: $98.50

Pre-flop: (5 players) hero is BB with J J
UTG (poster) checks, CO calls, Button folds, SB calls, hero raises to $5, UTG folds, CO calls, SB folds.

Flop: 7 8 8 ($12, 2 players)
hero bets $10, CO calls.

Turn: K ($32, 2 players)
hero bets $20 and folds to a raise???

Sounds very good to me. What's your plan if he calls the turn? I guess you shut down since you have no read.

That was my main confusion, because if I get called then chances are good but not certain I'm behind, but if I check and he bets strong then I probably should just fold. So it seemed better to bet/fold.

But if called, the river gets tricky since if any A or diamond hits I just check/fold, and if no scare card hits then probably check/call some bets hoping to pick off a busted draw/bluff.

It's hard balancing not donking money into a better hand and not inducing bluffs I can't call. I guess it was good he just folded to the turn bet
