OK, so here's my first hand in question after moving up to 10/20.

Party Poker 10/20 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with [7h], [7s].
1 fold, BB calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) [6c], [2s], [Jd] (2 players)
BB bets, BB calls.

Turn: (4.25 BB) [8s] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

River: (4.25 BB) [9d] (2 players)
BB bets, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 5.25 BB


Any issues, or pretty standard? Only read is that he would defend with a decently wide variety of hands.

bet-fold turn... you basically give him the pot after putting in 2 small bets on the flop. why do you do this?

Seemingly harmless turn. If you're not gonna bet the turn fold the flop.

You should definitely either bet/fold the turn or check the turn and call a river bet if it's a safe looking card. You can go with either of those lines, but I'm definitely showing this hand down.

The BB could very well be betting out Ace high, King high, pair of 6's, 2's, and etc. When you check the turn, he probably puts you on 2 big cards, so betting the river has value if he thinks you'll call with AK.

My thoughts exactly.

I really don't see what the point of the flop raise is if you're just going to give up on the hand afterwards.

Once you've checked the turn you've induced a bluff (or more likely a value bet), from hands that you can beat. You have to call.

Also, if BB was playing tight from the blinds, I think you can just fold the flop. Since he's not, I think you have to raise this flop. He's more likely to try a c/r with TP, and there are many hands that he could have that contain a weaker pair than yours.
