First of all, I don`t know if it was better to shove them preflop. I was really surprised that there was 3bet which was called after that and one guy behind me. The guy that played until the river had 63 VPIP and the sizing of the bets was really strange and that is the reason I called until the river. I actually won the hand, he had total trash, but what do you think how it was played?

iPoker - €0.10 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

UTG: €4.48 (44.8 bb)
Hero (MP): €12.92 (129.2 bb)
CO: €10.30 (103 bb)
BTN: €30.58 (305.8 bb)
SB: €19.07 (190.7 bb)
BB: €9.85 (98.5 bb)

SB posts €0.05, BB posts €0.10

Pre Flop: (pot: €0.15) Hero has Q♣: Q♥:
UTG calls €0.10, Hero raises to €0.40, fold, BTN calls €0.40, fold, BB raises to €1.50, UTG calls €1.40, Hero calls €1.10, BTN calls €1.10

Flop: (€6.05, 4 players) K♥: 3♠: J♥:
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks, BTN bets €2.50, 2 folds, Hero calls €2.50

Turn: (€11.05, 2 players) 7♦:
Hero checks, BTN bets €2.50, Hero calls €2.50

River: (€16.05, 2 players) 6♣:
Hero checks, BTN bets €3.40, Hero calls €3.40

Results: €22.85 pot (€1.90 rake)
Final Board: K♥: 3♠: J♥: 7♦: 6♣:

Hero shows Q♣: Q♥:: (One Pair, Queens)

Very strange hand indeed.
When villain makes such small bets, you have correct pot odds to call.
If he does have you beat, at least you lose the least.

Don't you consider 4bet/shove pre-flop against a BB which seems to be a recreational player squeezing?
BTN could have 33, maybeeee JJ and some failed flush draws I guess. Since he's betting so small, like Vorpal said, I would be tempted to call.

Make a note of his play and next time you know.

Preflop it is interesting, I would call as well, to play IP againts a fish and the SQZ-er postflop. Btn will come along most likely if you call in this spot, which can be actually good, because with 1.5 SPR on the flop you will have an easy shove againts a cbet (on a low board obviously).

On the flop BTN must bet, as nobody show strenght on the flop after BB checked. You have an easy call on the flop.

On the turn this bet from BTN will never be strong I think. If he has something like KJ,JJ, 33 then,he would go for a larger bet to stack you on the river. Most likely he has some kind of a weakish draw, or a medium strength made hand. Only hands which you are behind at the moment are KQ and maybe KT,but for example he can bet for thin value with AJ.All in all x/c is okay on the turn.

River is an easy call againts this betsize. Take this note of him that he "taxibluffs" on rivers.

I could not find a definition for "taxibluff" either as one word , or as "taxi bluff"

What does it mean?

As you played pre flop I would cd vs the button!

Well you definitely dominate all their ranges. UTG is a fish who wants to get to a cheap flop and hit something. BTN tries to setmine or something and BB seems to be recreational player squeezing. And you dont want to go multiway with QQ. So that leaves it to the only possible option which is 4bet/shove preflop. UTG called so he is not gonna fold his 50BB probably and you can get a lot of dead money from the previous action.

Taxibluff= When your opponent bets a small amount, when he can easily go all-in too. E.g the pot is 100 he has 60 behind, and bets 40, leaving himself 20$ for a taxi ride home :)

LoL -- I get that.
A few weeks ago, I played live in a local casino, and when my wife asked, "How did it go?" I answered, "Pretty good, I won almost enough to pay for parking"

Should it be "taxi bets" then?
We can easily do this for value, to get called by hands who wouldn't call a shove but given the smaller betsize they can call.
