Why are you not reraising preflop?

As played we can't possibly fold. That's not a scary board at all, the king's been made a whole lot less likely after a second one dropped, and realistically you're only afraid of Kx, 44, 33, or a really really oddly played AA/QQ.

Yeah, plus the Kx is even less likely given the size of his bet, there is a possibility that he is overbetting with the 44 or 33 and hoping that you slow-played a K and will pay-off but it looks more like he either has air or a smaller PP and he really wants you to fold. Maybe wants to make sure you're not priced in with either of the flush draws on show.

you gotta call. that was a good card for u, id bet he most likely has aq or a smaller pocket pair if he was going to slow play top pair on flop he certainly wouldnt push all in on turn

13bb's i shove preflop. then w/a flop of 1 over and a flush draw i shove as well. agian on the turn the king is not scary to you at all. if he had a king before he already had you beat. and another king make that all the more less likely. scre cards are an A or Q or any heart. w/ jacks here i would think you are ahead of his range here and this is an easy call. i would be making the same play here(betting the turn) and i dont even no what cards he holds.

Should have be the flop, to take it or get the information. With the turn it looks like he has nothing, maybe a draw or small pair. You should call as you probably have him beat.
