25nl 6-max zone hand
Effective stacks $30
I open K5 of diamonds to .75 from the cutoff. button calls, blinds fold.
flop comes 9-5-5. I bet 1.61, button calls
Turn is an ace. I bet 1.00. My thinking is I don't want to lose pocket pairs, and my small bet might look weak and hopefully induce a raise. Button does raise to $5. I call. Once this raise comes I'm obviously never folding, but I want to limit the potential loss while also letting him do the betting. Either I'm beat and lose the minimum, or I still win a nice pot if he's value betting a worse 5. Sorta like a happy medium. Is this bad logic?
River is a 10. Final board is 9-5-5-A-10 with no flush possible. I check and my opponent fires $11.50. Originally I was going to include villain's hand but I'd rather not reveal it just yet.
So is there merit to raising. Obviously we "can't" fold, which means we expect to be good a decent amount of the time. And, of we expect to be good, should the river be a check-jam? Should the turn? Let me know what you think.
