Spoiler

$3.17 pot ($0.13 rake)
Final Board: J♦: 8♠: 7♣: A♠:
Hero mucked Q♣: Q♠: and lost (-$1.30 net)
MP mucked and won $3.04 ($1.74 net)
BTN mucked and lost (-$0.50 net)

The flop is pretty standard there are not many draws so i bet 2/3 of the pot.
OTT i bet because i can still get value from worst hands, and i really dont wanna check/call OOP.
OTR i would prob call down the aggro player with a reasonable bet, if no(more) draws arrive.
Would you bet here? Should i bet bigger to protect my hand from draws? The raise its too strong comming even from this aggro player in 2 player.

Hey juhiimi,

Your bet OTF looks standard. Good sizing as well.

The only thing I think your bet accomplishes is finding out whether your opponent has an ace or not. Nonetheless I think it’s a good bet as they most likely fold when they do not so it’s a good bet. Also good sizing. Villains re raise suggests some real strength. I don’t think he’s doing this with something like AQ or AT. I think you’re good to have folded here.
Move onto the next hand! You can’t win with every monster hand.

A quick point for preflop bet sizings btw.. since I’m earleir positions we are opening with stronger hands, it makes sense to open with bigger bets (e.g 4BB). Visa versa, in later positions such as BTN, we are opening a lot wider, we can therefore think about opening with smaller bets (2BB for example).
Remember, small hands, small pots. Big hands, big pots. Something to think about! You’ll be surprised how often the blinds fold to a 2BB raise from a BTN steal.

I’ve sent you a friend request btw. Would love to have you join our study group. Add me on Skype: Daniel--Horsley

OTF pretty much standard. OTT as played a fold.

OTT u can consider between b/f or x/c. And against two villains i prefer the second one. Let them rep an ace. River would been obviously a x/f.

Most likely a cbet is been (over)called by any Ax. Thats why i wouldnt cbet the turn. If they check back, u can valuebet OTR.
