im certainly no pro but i'll throw my 2 cents in...

on the flop
His range certainly includes a K and you are either folding OR calling on implied odds, someone else will have to do the math.

i see no reason to bet the turn here. c/c maybe

As played, looks to me like your pot committed..

Put him on a range and play less tables to get better reads.

I'd probably fold pre flop.

Calling preflop looks good to me.

Why did you raise the flop? If you think he's a solid player, then give him a solid UTG PFR range: TT+, AQ+, AQs+, maybe KQs. How much of that do you think he'll actually fold? Probably only the AQ/AQs, maybe the KQs if he thinks you're solid. Your raise fails as a bluff and you don't have enough equity as a value bet. I think you should have just called the flop, since you have enough equity vs. his range to continue.

On the turn after the c/r, I think you should have checked, hoping for a check behind and a free card. As played, with the range I listed above, you need to call 5.35 to win 15.30:

Board: Kh 2d 2h 3c
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 24.380% 24.38% 00.00% 354 0.00 { AhJh }
Hand 1: 75.620% 75.62% 00.00% 1098 0.00 { TT+, KQs, KQo }

Looks like a fold. Even if you add back in the AQ hands, he still has you beat 72% of the time.

Anyways, this is a good spot to fold. You're not hitting your flush enough to make this profitable. The following is from spoon's thread about calling all-ins: http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...ll-173396.html

EV = (our equity)(pot size) - (our opponents equities)(bet size)
EV = (.244)(15.3) - (.756)(5.35)
= 3.73 - 4.04
= -0.31

Hope I did the maffs right.

Think about it logically. How can you lose 31.14 on average when you are only calling 5.35?

24.4 and 75.6 are percentages, so change them to 0.244 and 0.756 in your equation.

Yeah, looks like I went full retard there for a minute.

If he actually is solid folding pre isn't bad at all. You semi-bluff when you are trying to win the pot because you have fold equity, but have equity if you're called, so if we raise turn it's because we think we can get him to fold BETTER hands. pretty much the only better hands we're folding out are pp's, and it's doubtfull that he's going to be barreling with that part of his range. I think this point pretty much holds even more true after he called your flop bet. Only real reason to bet the turn is as a blocking bet, in which case I think your bet should be about 2.30, and obviously it's a fold as played.
