Hi!
I have another interesting hand for you. I believe the pre-flop and Flop plays are quite standard and OK. However, on Turn things get interesting:
After the raise on Flop I put the SB on 22,66, KQ, QJ, QT, Q9, Qx8x, Kh*h,7h8h,8h9h,9hth,thjh,5h7h,7h9h,8hth,9hjh. Since his bet is quite small, I don't think it restricts this range at all. I decide to call not to scare off the hearts and Qx that I beat. (I have no other prior information on the villain)
On the river, I have an interesting decision again against almost a pot size bet. Given his range, he can most certainly be bluffing all hearts and value betting KQ, that I beat or the sets, QJ, Q9 that obviously beat me. He is probably not betting weaker Qx. So out of the range that he is betting I beat like 50%.
Do you think I call correctly - only with top pair against plenty of missed draws though? Should I be perhaps shoving on Turn instead? -if I assume that he is not calling me with hearts here I am basically crushed by his calling range.
Thanks!
