    Hero has to at least call. That much is easy to identify. Hero played the hand horrible. Thats also pretty easy to identify.

    What isn't easy to identify, here is what the correct action as played is:

    Fold PF
    Bet flop!
    As played call turn if opponent is incapable of folding, raise if opponent is capapble.
    as played call river

    IMO.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    Just wondering if you could explain why. KJo on the button with one limper is ok for a raise no? Obviously depends on his stats, but in position, it won't be too bad to play imo.

    And on the flop, isn't it dangerous at these stakes to bet the flop in this situation cause of all the fishy slowplays?
    OP: Beginner to Master

    If I bet as a bluff, I should be thinking "am I getting better hands to fold? Is it likely that he will fold x% of the time to a y sized bet to make it +EV?". If I bet for value, I should be thinking "am I getting worst hands to call? Am I ahead of enough of his range that this is a good value bet?".
