NL 20 Q9s bvb

Hey SzamEE07,

Preflop call is fine.

Flop bet/call should be ok, 7% is on the low side though. Turn call should be ok but one of the weakest hands we are doing this with imo and should probably be with intention to fold river vs a shove.

What if 2bet % OTF would be higher? My line would be call Flop, even there are a lot of bad cards to come. I think Villain folds a lot of bluffs against a 3bet OTF. And then shove Turn on a blank. He is less inclined to fold with draws now, because he is committed (maybe not, but sometimes players think they are committed). What do you think?

The wider opponent is 2betting the more hands we can profitably defend vs flop raise here.

However this doesn't necessarily affect the range of hands he 3barrels. (For example some guys may x/r flop very wide but tighten up dramatically on the turn, whereas other guys may x/r a bit tighter on flop but barrel most of their range on the turn).

So ironically flop 2b% may not influence that much how frequently we should continue on turn and river.

We could think about shoving turn for value definitely - there is a possibility it becomes primarily a protection bet though if opponent doesn't call with that many worse hands.
