Hello,

Here is my hand:

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players Zoom

SB: $3.46 (173 bb)
BB: $1 (50 bb)
UTG: $2 (100 bb)
MP: $2.74 (137 bb)
Hero (CO): $2 (100 bb)
BTN: $2.95 (147.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J A
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.06, Hero calls $0.06, 3 folds

Flop: ($0.15) 6 J 9 (2 players)
MP bets $0.07, Hero calls $0.07

Turn: ($0.29) 2 (2 players)
MP bets $0.14, Hero calls $0.14

River: ($0.57) 6 (2 players)
MP bets $0.27, Hero calls $0.27

Results:

Spoiler

$1.11 pot ($0.04 rake)
Final Board: 6 J 9 2 6
MP showed Q Q and won $1.07 ($0.53 net)
Hero mucked J A and lost (-$0.54 net)

Villain:
17/13
3bet 5,9
Fold to 3bet 10
4bet 10,2
Raise 1st MP 20
Flop Cbet 43 Turn Cbet 80 River Cbet 100
Hands on him: 641

My thought process:

Preflop:
My hand is alright and I am against his possible 4bet if I 3bet him so calling is a good option here

Flop:
A great flop for me.
He Cbets 1/2 of the pot. The bet is not too big, so he might be on a draw, or some pair. I call.

Turn:
He Cbets it again. Well, he Cbets 80% on the turn and my hand looks still fine. I call. Or should I re-raise to find out his real strength? But he will bet on the river any way (100% river bet)..

River:
He bets the 3rd time. Well, he bets 100% on the river and I cannot see him having a flush/full house. If he would have a flush or a full house there would be a timing tell or he would probably change the bet size. I cannot see myself raising as well. So I call.

The outcome is as you see. Is my thought process correct? How can I find out that he has QQ during the hand?

Thank you,

Hello,

Against this guy you could think about 3betting preflop for value, as he folds only 10%.

Postflop looks good. I would also call him down here, as he looks like he's overplaying a lot of his weak made hands (like KJ/QJ) with betting them three streets.
I wouldn't raise on any street though.

Best,
Plamen

Hello Plamen,

Thank you for your reply.

I didn't 3bet him preflop in this hand because I could see he is 4beting 10.2%. If I would get a 4 bet from him I would think I should fold the AJ.

Is this logic correct or should I call for value his 4bet in this scenario? Or even 5bet?

Thank you,

Well, we have quite an easy fold if he 4bets, because people won't really 4bet weaker hands for value, and people don't bluff often at these stakes.

But we can still 3bet, as he would probably call with worse, plus we get to play IP with the initiative.
