Hello, what do you think about my flop and turn play?
I think sb has a pretty wide range here and he can raise me with a lot: made hands, straight draws, flush draws, two pairs, and sets.
Is my 3bet and turn shove a punt?

Thank you for your options.

I dont really have a problem with the way you played it im just wondering whether 3betting the flop is best here. Maybe vs a sb cold call range we can make an exploitable fold because that range is going to be basically pp's set mining.And maybe suited connecters and that board just hits so many 2 pair sets and straights.But ye i dont hate getting it in on the flop but quite honeslty i dont mind calling the flop raise playing a turn. And folding to strength on the turn although im by no means sure if that's best here. It's very exploitable i guess but im not worried about getting exploited in these spots at 2nl when we have such a big edge over the player pool.For me this is a marginal stack off at best and even villains draws have a huge chunk of equity.Lets assume villain is raising Ax flush draws were only 50/50 vs those draws and in bad shape vs the rest of villains range

It's interesting to know what kind of info you have on the villain. Against a random NL2 player I would Cbet at least 60% pot, because they like to call more often than raising. Asplayed the turn you can still bet around 60c to get it in on the river. Over shoving seems to much.

Thank you guys, for your options.
I think I overplayed this hand. I wanted to fast play it, but I think I chose a bad spot for it.

3betting flop is totally overplaying your hand. There is no hand that will call the 3bet and that not have you beat.

The call of your flop-3bet is superstrong imo so shoving on turn is just handing over your stack so often.

I would call the 3bet otf and see what happens. Hopefully we can get to showdown cheaply.

The Flop bet seems low. But, besides that I generally agree with your play.

Hey SDK1987, you are a moderator and I assume an experienced player. Why do you suggest to Cbet at least 60%? I think this is not enough protection against draws. Don't know the exact math, but IIRC it should be at least 75% or more. I have a conflict here with what I read in the beginning strategy articles. So is this an advanced strategy? Serious question, just trying to understand.
