Hero wins with a pair of sixs (9 8).

turn 上的probe bet 是这样的目的: 如果对手没有K or some solid hands like QQ AA 或者Ad, Qd 这样的flush draw的话，牌面已经有flush的可能，一般都是会fold。
所以通过一个1/3-1/2的probe bet 可以很好的掌握对手的牌力。

我觉得自己的bad play是river上的bet, 首先，如果对手是诸如AQ(1 diamond)之类的 FD,基本就fold了，所以要算value bet也没有什么价值， 而如果对手是pair K的话，那么1/2 pot 的bet 也太小了，对手是一个commited call。 就是这样一个bet 量，感觉上没有任何+EV可言。

当然这个对手还是比较sick, 他做出一个mini raise, 我觉得任何pro 都是不会在这样的情况下raise的。当然从结果来看他的raise 是好的。 我当时get raised 也几乎是instant call,因为这时候拿K pairs 做出这样的决定我觉得很sick,倒更像是FD 失败以后的bluff (当然这也不是好招)。

第一手不明白turn为什么要bet? 牌面有K，还有flush的可能。你只不过持有TT。

我觉得pre-flop冷跟没关系，但flop应该raise试探一下对手的牌力。如果遭到强烈反抗，差不多可以fold了吧。
