PokerStars - 125/250 Ante 25 NL - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

SB: 3,308 (13.2 bb)
Hero (BB): 5,442 (21.8 bb)
UTG: 2,972 (11.9 bb)
UTG+1: 4,852 (19.4 bb)

MP+1: 9,150 (36.6 bb)
CO: 5,328 (21.3 bb)
BTN: 3,602 (14.4 bb)

8 players post ante of 25, SB posts 125, Hero posts BB 250

Pre Flop: (pot: 575) Hero has Q J
2 folds, MP raises to 500, 4 folds, Hero calls 250

Flop: (1,325, 2 players) Q 9 2
Hero checks, MP bets 750, Hero calls 750

Turn: (2,825, 2 players) 7
Hero checks, MP bets 2,130 and is all-in, Hero calls 2,130

River: (7,085, 2 players) A

Results: 7,085 pot (0 rake)
Final Board: Q 9 2 7 A

Hero shows Q J: (One Pair, Queens)
(Pre 40%, Flop 75%, Turn 89%)

MP shows 9 A: (Two Pair, Aces and Nines)
(Pre 60%, Flop 25%, Turn 11%)

MP wins 7,085

Preflop seems QJ strong on BB , but scary scene when short minraise and barreling. What do you think about the call pre and turn , maybe lead turn?

well not a fand on call pre with this stacksize. Nevertheless if you call I would get it in on the flop for value and protection. Same on the turn.

I think PF call is good. Not good enough to re-jam and too good to fold imo.

On the flop you should just x/RAI. As long as he c-bets a reasonable amount you can x/shove really profitably here. Against most opponents even 9x!

I would love to see the nash calculation for this.
Against a 13BB stack, you can be pretty sure it is going in by the river with any kind of favourable flop.

My guess is that the calculation would have BB shove here.
How many to the money?

Preflop call standard as hand flop well and price is great. On flop you can go either way but I like call with plan to call most turns. Though versus this sizing it could make sense to fold or shove mostly I suppose.

Donk betting turn make no sense and easy call to shove.
