River: ($0.33 - 16.50 bb) 9♠ (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero bets $0.20, BB raises for $0.40, Hero ???

[PreFlop] I intended to open to Steal with QTo as BU and the BB called, he's a quite passive tight player often slowplay monsters. The bet size was quite small but I chose that because of the balance in my game (I also raised with 3BB with Aces, or Kings)

[Flop] Flopped with a trip but I decided to pot control and deceive my hand with check back, because my hand can dominated with QJ or KQ in my opponent's range.

[Turn] The board wasn't scared too much, so I decide to take action, and re-evaluate my opponent range with his cold call here. I thought his range could more weighted on PPs than Qx hands which could also dominated my hand.

[River] I took another barrel with two-thirds pot size bet to force my opponent to Fold worse hands and win the pot, but he surprised me with a min Raise. What could I have done better?

Hello anhvusa,

Bet the flop, Bet the turn -> you need to protect! Otherwise for the given odds I don't see myself folding but I don't expect to be ahead there that often either.

Best Regards.

Hi coach :)

Thanks for spending your time to evaluate my hand.

Actually, because of some hands he played previously before my hands, I realized that he quite often slowplay and rarely take any actions with his monsters, so his style was quite Tight and very passive. Addtionally, before taking action on River, I reassessed his action on PreFlop, and I would rather narrow him on range of PPs like 22, 55, or even 99 than Qx which we can beat him. I think it could be a crying Call and hoping we win because of the giving odds here just like you said.

Best regards,

anhvusa
