Whats your reason for folding? You must have some reads/stats then?

Better still, what's your reason behind not raising the flop?

And yeah, stats or some kind of read would be helpful if you have them...

could have been betting out on a draw, raise the flop to see where you are at. otherwise you are just making guesses and calling/Folding. If he plays back then you can fold with peace of mind. Or he might just call and check turn in which case you can choose which way you want to attack the hand.

Just my opinion, hope that helps a bit

I'm just afraid and confused. But thanks for your tips.

Afraid of what?

You flop top pair top kicker and you still fold?

What are you after, a full house?

Put villain on a range pre-flop.
Refine it on every later street, don't add anything to it just take more hands out of it.

The 9 hitting does not increase the chances of JT being in his range.

I didnt want to give any "tips" if I didnt know anything about Villain.

I still dont.

I would raise that donk bet 100% of the time.

The turn is now too hard to even comment on really cause your hand is under repped and you still havent defined Villains hand at all. What was your plan when you flat called the flop?

Raising for information is bad (not sure if that's what brank is suggesting, don't really care either, just making a point).

It kills your ability to extract value because you get rid of weak hands that will give value and represent the top of your range.

An opponent with an undefined range is fine, it just means their range is wide, which means there's tons of air. Profit.

Folding with A/K ?

Folding with A-K-K:
Give me A-K to start with and they are going to get a raise of sorts until the flop. Then when I get another K in the flop, I like to raise 3 times the blind and if they come along with the raise it's decision time. Usually nice to know or have watched this players profile earlier in the game. Has he had winning hands before, then that could indicate he has something.But, I'm hard headed at this point and just call the rest of the way. Play the best you can with what YOU have. (my opinion)

no, i was more aiming at value betting for information.

pretty sure we want to be raising this flop. this is a flop thats gonna get calls. ie. profits.

You are raising to find out where you are/ extract value from weaker holdings that will call, otherwise you just find yourself calling down...and either losing or losing bets.
