SB: $3.89 (77.8 bb)
BB: $5.77 (115.4 bb)
UTG+1: $6.17 (123.4 bb)
UTG+2: $5 (100 bb)
MP1: $17.90 (358 bb)

MP3: $4.15 (83 bb)
CO: $13.88 (277.6 bb)
BTN: $8.33 (166.6 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q Q
UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 raises to $0.15, MP1 folds, Hero calls $0.15, MP3 calls $0.15, 4 folds

Flop: ($0.52) 7 9 6 (3 players)
UTG+2 checks, Hero bets $0.40, MP3 raises to $0.85, UTG+2 folds, Hero calls $0.45

Turn: ($2.22) A (2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets $1.06, Hero folds

Min raises like this one on the flop confuse me because nits do them for value and fish do them as bluffs and to turn their medium hands in to bluffs. In this case I think it indicates some strength but we could still be ahead because we underrepped QQ preflop, so I put villain on TT, JJ and 2pair+. When the ace comes on the turn I think TT and JJ are less likely to bet again.

Hi,

Don't think he does this with JJ, TT. If he is a nit you can prob make an exploitive fold on the flop, also because he does this 3way. Def fold on turn, prob has like 95% of the time a set/T8s here.

Hi Zukes

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: Mp3 is a shorter stack so that implies that he is likely a recreational player.

Raises on the flop can be strong but they aren't generally just strong (as a turn raise would be)>

There are plenty of better hands that he can have but I think it's possible he has worse as well and since we have QQ I don't think folding is that great (unless we have other reads on the guy).

As played the turn is difficult because usually better hands like pairs won't bet on the Ax and only bluffs/2p+ still bet. And his bet size doesn't look bluffy so I can see a hero fold.
