c/r second pair A high board and calls down to a 3b .

This hand was weird to me. Im not sure if i should bet the turn or not and my riverbet. I feel like I misplayed it. I just don't know what i should have done. Like I wasn't sure the guy would bet again unless he had a 6. But i would guess he could call with a K,T,A , when he bets the Turn i'm putting him on a T .. since i noticed him "slowplaying" his TP's sets trips to the river.

But yeah i feel i misplayed it. How much did i misplay it ?

I don't feel our hand is strong enough here to x/c

Given we're with our UTG range this has to be right at the bottom of it on this board except for like 98s if you even open that

Given that I think this is just a straightforward bet on the turn.

If we have a 17% UTG range:

A5s+, K9s+, QTs+, J9s+, T9s. ATo+. KTo+, QJo, 55+

We are in the bottom 15% of our range on this board, in fact in order to make our opponent indifferent to calling us we might even bluff some combos of KQ here

Now that's a balance perspective obviously

From an exploitative standapoint what is your opponent betting here when you check?

In order for us to be able to x/c with QJo we have to have about 20% equity, allowing for implied odds etc

Assuming he bets all Aces and 6s for value he would have to bet every flush draw in his range and most pairs

If you think he bets this range then x/c is ok, if you think it's much narrower (i.e. won't be pairs worse than Aces) then you have a problem and should probably just bet yourself.

River is standard :)
