So Im always posting hands I lost, but I thought about this hand after I won it and thought to myself, did I really play this hand right, or was I fortunate to win/

For those who havnt seen my others posts, I have to type out the information as there is no tracker available for the site I play on in the USA called Global Poker. Also there are no HUDS.

One thing you should know about this site that I havnt mentioned previously, it has very recreational players, as its target is the facebook and instagram scene.

So that being said, here is the hand.....

NL10
.05/.10
6 max table

Opening Stack Sizes
UTG - 98.5 BB
MP - 125.8 BB
CO - 165.5 BB
BU - 27.4 BB
SB - 74.1 BB
BB (HERO) - 246.2 BB

HERO Dealt
A♣: K♥:

UTG call 1 BB
MP Fold
CO Raise 5 BB
BU Fold
SB Fold
BB (HERO) Raise 25 BB
UTG Fold
CO Calls 20 BB

TOTAL POT - 51.5 BB

FLOP
2♥: 6♠: K♦:

BB (HERO) - Check
CO - Check
So I checked here to see if I could get him to start the betting since he was the original pre-flop raiser. This would make my job more easy and conceal my hand if he was the aggressor post flop. Obviously that didn't work because he checked.

TOTAL POT - 51.5 BB

TURN
2♥: 6♠: K♦: Q♠:

BB (HERO) Bets 38.6 BB
CO Calls 38.6 BB

Now I know I needed to bet, and went with a 75% bet. Not sure if the sizing was good though or if I should have done a 50% bet to entice him to stay. He stayed of course for 75% which was fortunate for me. My thought process was I was hoping he had a Queen and would want to keep playing.

TOTAL POT - 128.7 BB

RIVER
2♥: 6♠: K♦: Q♠: 4♣:

HERO (BB) - Check
CO - Check

So I checked here because for the life of me I couldnt figure out what he had that he would be calling me with. Does he have two pair? Does he have pocket Q? So I checked and wanted to see what he would bet before I determined my next move. As luck would have it he checks and we go to showdown.

CO Shows - T♦: T♥:

HERO Wins with 2 Kings

So great, I won a big pot.. but how do you feel about my process here, and thinking. Feedback negative and positive are welcome as always!

If you are playing most of the time against recreational players I would betting for every street with top pair after the 3bet for value. On long run I expect you will get more value than with checking.
As played I would go for a thin value shove on the river, but now he would most likely fold anyway.

Further I recommend removing the outcome of the hand next time or put it in a spoiler.

Cheers,

I would bet flop for value. And I think preflop 3bet is too big (unless you have some reads).

Bet-bet-bet (if called) usually means a loss with TPTK, especially 165 bb deep.

Preflop is a bit too big. Are you trying to isolate QQ+? Then I'd continue with a small bet on the flop (because the board is very dry). With the Q on the turn, I'd bet small again. Very few worse hands can call a big bet there. The only draws are gutshots. (You want calls from AQ/AJ, and stuff like that. KQ+ will call anything.) Then I'd check river. Now extremely few worse hands can call. A suck-bet might work, but those come with a risk. You might have to fold to a bluff raise (depending on SPR of course).

With regards to my 3bet raise, I normally always use a 5x 3 bet

Why? Do you 3bet bluff a lot?

No, the only time I really 3 bet is for value. Do you think im 3 betting to large?

3betting only for value is quite easy to exploit if villain notices this, but since you are playing on a site that doesn't allow a hud, maybe it is not such a big problem.
The other thing is that you are probably missing some value when you don't 3bet as a bluff. This is quite important when on the blinds.

Lassie is right. You have preflop leaks.

But these leaks need not be a bad thing if you struggle with the postflop game. Getting called when re-stealing from the blinds can then be more costly than letting them take that 1 bb once in a while.
