PokerStars - $0.25 NL - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

UTG: $24.30 (97.2 bb)
CO: $33.55 (134.2 bb)
BTN: $34.09 (136.4 bb)
SB: $14.60 (58.4 bb)
Hero (BB): $35.36 (141.4 bb)

SB posts $0.10, Hero posts BB $0.25

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.35) Hero has 9♠: Q♠:
fold, CO raises to $0.62, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.37

Flop: ($1.34, 2 players) 5♥: J♣: K♣:
Hero checks, CO bets $0.50, Hero raises to $1.60, CO calls $1.10

Turn: ($4.54, 2 players) T♣:
Hero bets $3.20, CO calls $3.20

River: ($10.94, 2 players) 6♦:
Hero bets $6.20, CO raises to $28.13 and is all-in, Hero folds

Villain stats: open 34, cbet/fold 34, cbet flop 58, flop AF 2.3, WTSD 29, WWSF 41

My villain is on wide range and he cbet a lot, so I decided that I will defend myself by check/raise. Card on turn improve my equity vs his range after flop, so I bet turn and river for value.

His WTSD is 29, so maybe isnt the best player to play this way againts him, but from the other hand he is on wide range and wont be able to defend it.

I have some questions:
1. What do you think about c/r on this kind of board?
2. Do I have bet on turn and river?
3. What is the best defending line against him?

1. I'm against it unless you are planning to go all the way with this hand.
2. The best/worst possible turn card -- makes your straight, but not the nut straight, and puts the flush on the board, As played bet seems right.

OTR good fold unfortunately -- he had a Royal Flush [1]

[1] I know these things :coolface:

1. No, bet in this case gives you more information about the opponent
2. Yes, you bet the turn and river nicely πŸ‘
3. You did what you could, really, maybe betting the flop first would be better πŸ‘

Call flop, you can cr Q:c , Q:s 9:s is a call imho

As played 1/3 turn and 3/4 river for bet fold.

I agree, XR with a club blocker or at least a heart blocker (or q9hh), it improves equity and fold equity is better

That said, I don't mind it, if he's too wide pre and post

The rest seems fine, could go smaller, could check turn too. Honestly I have not much experience 100bb deep

What is your plan for turn and river if you call flop?

Why so low bet sizing on turn?

After cc flop, turn cc only on Q and T:c.

Q:s 9:s is a bottom range of call.
On T and 9 not cr, and other card Cf.

This turn is yours, but I want bet also two pair and straight not only flush than I bet a little size also with flush.

As played river you can also cc, but better with a

Call flop. You have a non-nut gutshot and have reverse implieds. You don't want to build a pot. Definitely not an x/r without specific info on villian.

As played I think bet sizing is fine, river fold fine.

Best line is x/c flop, x/f turn. If he x back turn you stab river 2/3.
