Hi guys I recently played an interesting hand at a 2/5 NL table and would like some feedback on the way I approached the hand.

Villain just sat down so I have know info on him other than he bought in short stack for 60BB.

Starting stack sizes:

Hero: $500
Villain: $300

Hero opens UTG with KQo to $40. Villain in MP and the rest of the players fold.

The flop comes: J T 4 rainbow. $87 in pot

Hero bets $40. Villain calls.

The turn brings a blank 3. $167 in pot

If I check, villain can bet an amount that prices me out of my draw and therefore forces me to fold since my implied odds are very slim given the effective stacks. I could make a blocker bet for both value and to price me in to draw since most villains will only raise the turn with 2 pair or better.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

You may bet more on the flop and then the same size on the turn. Be more aggressive.

This is a pretty good board to fire a second barrel on. Bet $85.

This is live right?

I would stare momentarily at villains stack.

I will ask the dealer to count his chips.

Then declare "$110".

Too la-di-da... but sounds quite interesting.

So is the 110 bet because it's exactly half of effective stacks orrrr. Anyway depending on my image I probably bet flop larger and jam turn. I don't want to overstate our fold equity after the short player calls the flop bet but there's enough pot equity vs his range that going all the way with it isn't going to be terrible. It may be an overall more profitable line to bet smallish again on the turn and then check river if he's going to check back Jx hands that never fold no matter what you do...but that's not something I'd assume by default at 2/5.
