So, this is my first ever post to the DC forums. Hopefully this goes well!

I played this hand a few hours ago and just wanted to know your opinion whether my line was okay.

After only 46 hands the villain is 37/26 and he is cbetting 67%.

Full Tilt Poker $5.00 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players - View hand 897150

MP: $4.85
CO: $5.29
BTN: $10.80
Hero (SB): $5.00
BB: $5.55
UTG: $5.00

Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero is SB with K Spade T Spade
1 fold, MP raises to $0.15, CO calls $0.15, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.13, 1 fold

Flop: ($0.50) 9 Diamond Q Spade 5 Spade (3 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $0.30, CO folds, Hero raises to $1.30, MP calls $1

Turn: ($3.10) 9 Heart (2 players)
Hero bets $3.55

Final Pot: $3.10
Hero wins $2.90

I decided to call pre because I was getting such a good price with a decent multi-way hand. What about my flop play? Is c/r the best play or..? The overbet turn shove is something I have never done before. But given that I have great equity + (perhaps) some fold equity I think the shove is definitely +EV, but am I missing some value with this line?

When villain called my raise on the flop I gave him the following range: JJ-TT,AQs,KQs,QTs+,JTs,AQo,KQo,QTo+,JTo. Seems a bit wide, maybe I should drop JJ and TT. Anyhow, against that range I have ~40% equity on the turn.

Preflop, a fold for me, even though KTs is good in multiway but you are completely out of position, so its hard to get value when you hit, or if you miss you rely on fold equity, which is lower at these low stakes.

Flop raise is fine.

His Range on turn is weighted towards top/over pairs and draws. I like the play if you only consider his range. But if he can hand read your play doesn't make that much sense. You are reppin' a lot of strength on the flop (top pair top kicker, over pair, set), so a 9 on turn doesn't change your hand strength that much, neither does it add much danger to the board. So it would appear illogical to over protect a hand you were reppin' on the flop.

then again, this is Nl5, so I doubt there will be lots of level 2 thinkers. So well played.
