PokerStars, $1.32 + $0.18 - Hold'em No Limit - 80/160 (20 ante) - 3 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

villian was fishy. Preflop i think iso is best rather than soving. OTF not sure probably better to x/c a small bet otf and fold to turn?
As played i opt for a small cbet to get called by worst like FD's . Turn When K hits i shove as i thought it was a good card to make him fold.

BU: 4,150 (26 bb) 40/13 (44 hands)
SB: 6,126 (38 bb)
BB (Hero): 3,224 (20 bb)

Pre-Flop: (300) Hero is BB with Q A
BTN calls 160, 1 fold, Hero raises to 640, BTN calls 480

Flop: (1,420) 8 8 5 (2 players)
Hero bets 400, BTN calls 400

Turn: (2,220) K (2 players)
Hero bets 2,164 (all-in), BTN calls 2,164

Against a fish I would make it around half pot on the flop and give up the turn unimproved. Especially if he fits and fold a lot a higher Cbet works better and if you hit the turn you have a nice shove stack behind.

I think either bet small again on turn or check is going to be better options than shoving.

Flop is fine either way as it's pretty dry one. On turn I would check as I doubt that many better hands are folding. Like x-c more in general than bluff shove.

PF: Would you elaborate why you think that? I don't mind an iso-raise but would probably just shove PF especially OOP against a guy who is capable of going Trump. With 25 BB I am leaning more heavily towards a normal raise.

Flop: I like your flop c-bet. Board is somewhat connected but also paired and hasn't really hit Villain's range. We have more overpairs and good FD's+overpairs and many people bet their whole range here with a small sizing. Against such a guy this bet is also extracting value from a whole lot of random hands we beat.

Turn: The K is one of the best cards for us to fire again. I prefer a bluff against a good opponent and not a fish (as a fish will call Kx often on the flop and might not even lay down small pockets to our turn shove), but that being said I think this is ok. I don't love it, but we are not blocking any :club: FD's or SD's and his range should be still pretty wide after our smallish flop bet. WP I think, but am not sure if others agree.
