I 4 bet preflop thinking I can maybe get him to fold AK or TT-JJ
when he called and a king come Im thinking well now I can win if he called with JJ or TT
so I had to bet , thinking that if reraised ill fold cuz he probably trapping

only regret is betting too much on the flop

what do you think?

On a flop like that, half pot bet is just as good in that spot. Good fold IMO

Agree half pot OTF will give us just as much info. Villain has AKh here.

you played the hand fine other than as the guys have said half pot on the flop is fine.. just got a sucky flop with that king falling right into opponents range

He looks like enough of a nit that he might not 3bet all of these, esp. OOP.

Plus what if he 5bets?

As played, do you actually have to bet the flop? If he does have JJ or TT, he's drawing to 2 outs, so is it vital to take down the pot now when betting exposes you to a C/R you can't call? And what if he just calls? Do you feel good if the turn is anything other than a Q?
