Strategy
Blinds: 150-300 (25).
Hero (~20k): I open for 650 in the lo-jack with KT off-suit. Cut-off (~10 k), a fishy player (had limped-folded a few times and some other funky stuff) flats. Villain (playing ~22k) is on the button and makes it 1900. Hero 4-bets to 4400; cut-off folds and Villain thinks for little bit and flats
Flop (pot= 9500): 237 rainbow; hero c-bets 3300. Villain thinks for a while and calls.
Turn(pot=16,000; SPR=1) = Jack; I check; villain checks back.
River = T; I check having made second pair, villain thinks for a while and bets 5100 (into pot of 16,000)
the “strategy hand”… you never said what the villain had or what the hero did on the river. he checked then the villain bet… .then nothing
Sorry, Hero called and lost to QQ.
