    Default Money extraction with tpgk?

    Here might be a situation where maybe I can slow down a bit to extract more money, you tell me.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($8.55)
    SB ($22.05)
    Hero ($29.30)
    UTG ($11.10)
    UTG+1 ($22.90)
    MP1 ($22.40)
    MP2 ($13.08)
    MP3 ($16.80)
    CO ($22.15)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, K. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
    UTG calls $0.25, 1 fold, MP1 calls $0.25, 4 folds, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($1) K, 5, T (4 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $0.75, UTG folds, MP1 calls $0.75, SB folds.

    Turn: ($2.50) 9 (2 players)
    Hero bets $2, MP1 folds.

    Final Pot: $4.50

    For those that don't know my story:
    I'm trying to adjust my live game so I can make some cash online as well, Live im uber-agro, online I know I have to play a bit more cautious. I'm looking for places where my agression works against me

    My question is this: could I make more money here. Is the 4/5 pot bet maybe a bit too scared? There's a few weaker kings he might call 1.50 with here. It would still give drawing hands bad odds, but might make more money. Am I overthinking this?

    Well, you're agro on the turn when a straight draw just completed (though an unlikely one since you hold one of the queens needed).

    I doubt the guy was calling with a weaker king...he may have had AT or a mid pocket that he was just floating to see if you were bluffing your straight draw. Turn completes the straight, so even if you were bluffing the flop you just hit and bet it hard...he's outta there. I don't think you're keeping his weak hand around much longer anyway, short of a min/2 bet or somethin.

    I'd check the turn here quilte a lot. Firstly for pot control, I'm not looking to play a big pot here. An average player only calls that turn with 1 hand you beat, KJ. Other holdings like 9T, QJ and KT are kicking your ass and everything else will probably fold. If the turn goes check/check, not only can you feel more confident about your hand, a river bet is more likely to get called by a weaker hand as you have not shown consistant strength.

    Good points.
