Hi guys,

Please let me know how this hand should have been played.
https://www.boomplayer.com/24402727_8775F88FDF

My analysis:

Preflop - qutie a huge izo, vs MP and limping UTG I decided to just flat - I guess both options would be correct.
Flop - after two checks easy bet, a lot of value from Jx, FD, 77-TT.
Turn - now things go weird... we are still in the MWP - the 7 of hearts doesn't really change anything. Check or bet? If bet - what should be the sizing. When playing this spot, I decided to overtbet shove for this main reason: if I had bet for like 2/3 or 3/4, I would have been commited. I would have to call every river.

Tell me please whats is your opinion about this spot and especially about turn decision.

I would normal 3bet QQ in a spot like this, because it’s likely if we call we end up multi way on NL2 and then is a hand like QQ vulnerable. It’s also a good spot to get more value of the isolator and maybe the limper as well.

On the potential flush draws both players can have is the flop dry, but with the fishy limper still in you can easy bet ¾ pot or more for value. 25c here is fine as well.

The turn is for me a blank, but if you bet half pot you can still easy shove for value on the river. Only problem is that you let them draw easily and if they miss they will fold a lot. I don’t think it’s even bad to bet $1 and get it in on every river card. Off course you are committed if someone shoves.

Cheers,

The size here doesn't matter preflop IMO. I think we can raise pre. I would bet less OTF since we want to lure villains in. We still beat many weaker hands. Turn card is for me also a bet but definitely no AI. We should still lure villains. We can fold vs a shove OTR if needed.

I would isolate the fish (utg) pre-flop

Fellow NL2 player here (newbie), my BB:

I think I would also raise preflop, since MP's sizing is made like that to isolate the limper UTG, and not because of any particularly strong hand.

I think MP's range is something like AK-ATs, KQ-Kjs, AA-99, KQo, AK-ATo. Here, we can 3bet and we are ahead, and if we get called we have to fold to an ace or king on the flop, and cbet for the rest.

I think UTG's range is even looser even to call a 3-bet, and we can make money by default postflop c-betting against pretty much any flop if MP folded.

if MP pushes our 3bet preflop, I think we have to fold since I think he can have something like AA-QQ, AK or AQs maybe, and we're dominated but I'm not really sure.
