Hi guys,

1 question before putting the lights out here in Bangkok :f_biggrin:

Poker Stars $2.00 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players - View hand 2862001
DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter

MP: $2.08 - VPIP: 33, PFR: 26, 3B: 3, AF: 4.0, Hands: 93
CO: $0.75 - VPIP: 67, PFR: 33, 3B: 33, AF: 4.0, Hands: 9
BTN: $2.31
Hero (SB): $2.00
BB: $1.89 - VPIP: 23, PFR: 17, 3B: 4, AF: 1.7, Hands: 60
UTG: $2.03

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is SB with Q :club: T :heart:
1 fold, MP raises to $0.06, CO raises to $0.12, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.11, 1 fold, MP calls $0.06

Flop: ($0.38) 8 :club: 5 :club: J :club: (3 players)
Hero checks, MP checks, CO bets $0.22, Hero calls $0.22, MP calls $0.22

Turn: ($1.04) 8 :diamond: (3 players)
Hero checks, MP checks, CO bets $0.41, Hero folds, MP calls $0.41

River: ($1.86) 9 :diamond: (2 players)

Was this call OK or terribly wrong? I decided to call because they have very attractive stats for me and I saw my implied odds growing. However, was this OK or just fold and find a better spot/better hand?

I don't think your implied odds are that great. Any :club: will look pretty scary to anyone holding T♣:, and a A♣: is licking his chops at your expense.

I think your hand is not strong enough to cold call 3bet pre + you would be out of position vs possibly 2 players. OTF maybe you could call but you have a lot of reverse implied odds too. Here I think it would be better to donk than x/c.

Preflop this is very clear fold. CO is shortstack so you don't have much implied odds in general and QTo is really terrible hand in the spot because it's very dominated and doesn't hit strong hands often. Flop I'm folding too because we have a player behind and we're not that happy even if we hit our flush. Donking flop is also not good because we don't have fold equity against the min3betting fish.

Well, preflop play is awful. You do not have the right to call there. :)
Postflop - well, it is the same, fold and save yourself the trouble.
