KJo vs UTG open with 22bb

Here I fvcked up badly I think

$2 hyper turbo, rebuy just ended, avg stacks around 20bb, 300 left, 100 paid

6 handed, UTG with 25bb min raises, guy next to him joins, I hate-call from the BTN with 22bb cause of pot odds (mine 2bb vs 6bb already on the table) and "some" kind of a hand /that call was bad I think now vs an UTG open/

anyways, flop comes K T 2 rainbow, UTG bets 3.5 bb, guy next to him calls and I donk-jam

What was worse?

I think preflop is a fold as you say, both ranges have you beat / dominated a lot.

Postflop I don't really like either. UTG has many bluffs but also all the hands that crush you. The caller will have KQo and KTs in his range a lot, but also AT and maybe some QJs, QTs, JTs. Overall you are only slightly ahead of them I think. My gut says that top pair isn't as good as often as it usually is here given their strong ranges, and that calling in position and seeing the action on the turn is probably better.

Yep, that was my aftermath too, I was too loose cause rebuy period was still in my head, I needed some time to nit up. PS flatter flatted with TT (why?) and flopped a set


I think fold pre, although you could squeeze to like 6x and fold to a shove. I don't think flatting is awful, but it runs a lot of risk of domination.

Once you do flat, there's no reason to jam the flop. Given the bet size and call, even folding the flop might be reasonable, although I'd probably stick around for one card and see how the turn develops.
