Below a hand which I played questionable preflop which made my next streets more difficult, but than again I play to learn...
If any of my logic is off, please fill me in on my mistakes.
PokerStars Zoom, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker
UTG: $2.09 (105 bb)
MP: $2.73 (137 bb)
CO: $1.32 (66 bb)
BU: $2.02 (101 bb)
SB (Hero): $3.24 (162 bb)
BB: $4.67 (234 bb) VPIP:25 PFR:21 AF:7 3b:9.5 (sample only 53 hands)
Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is SB with Q♣ Q♥
2 players fold, CO raises to $0.07, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.06, BB 3-bets to $0.24, CO calls $0.17, Hero calls $0.17
Pre-flop: So not sure why I wasn't 3B pre but anyway that is the way the hand was played. I decided to call the M3b because of the high 3b percentage (allthough small sample, I suspected it to be a squeeze: all his 3b were in the blinds)
I expect his range to be: any pair, suited connectors 78+ & KJ+
Flop: ($0.72) 6♣ J♣ 5♠ (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, CO checks
As I "masked" my hand preflop I wasn't planning on starting donking so check was my logical action. Actually I was expecting a C-bet from BB which I would in turn call.
Turn: ($0.72) 4♥ (3 players)
Hero bets $0.37, BB calls $0.37, CO folds
With the checks on the flop I was willing to show some aggression and bet halfpot.
River: ($1.46) 9♥ (2 players)
Hero bets $0.46, BB raises to $4.06 (all-in), HERO??
As I just got a call on the turn I put his hand at a small pair so I raise small to get value from these hands.
The hands after this shove make his range more like sets or slowplayed AA-KK. I expect not enough bluffs to make this call profitable. Do you agree?
