This is my first hand at NL10 after a long while, so, please, show no mercy!
The villain ia 16/8 from 198 hands. AFq 17.5%.
Preflop, at that time, I couldn't quite figure out what range would he open. Sure, I could 3bet, but this time I chose to call.
OTF I have TPTK and it's time to bet, for obvious reasons. However, the villain donks before me, so I put a quite small raise.
The turn doesn't change anything. I narrowed his range to
(except QQ), sets and
draws. QQ is out of the question, because he would have made a 3bet preflop. So, it was time to bet to get value from lower queens and draws.
The river is a bad card. All the draws busted, KQ now beats me. The only thing I beat is QJ, so I check behind.
Q1: 3bet or call preflop?
Q2: as played, could I bet bigger on the turn?
Q3: did I play the hand correctly, or I won because I ran into the villain's bottom showdown range?
