Hello everyone,

I'm new around here and I would like to post a hand. I know probably Q9s is not the very best hand to 4bet against a 3bet from btn, but this guy has 3bet me three times in a row and has 22% of 3bet on there (4/18).

The question is: should I have made a second barrel on here? I don't think so, unless the turn would have been a club. In that case, I would push allin.

Besides, when both check, would it have been better to bet on river or just c/fold as i did? I think it's difficult to represent a hand on here and the opponent is going to call if i bluff.

Best regards

Hi Toprange72,

I moved your hand to the discussion board. It is a sub board in the No Limit where you first posted :)

The 4bet is a bit too loose as you said but if 3bets a lot I think it might be ok. But you still have a bit too small sample I would say.

I wouldn't make a second barrel on this turn, if it was a club it would be a different thing. And to be honest I'm not so sure about this flop bet either. If you believe villain is 3betting way too much and therefore has to fold way too much vs 4bets, then you are making autoprofit with your 4bet preflop. When villain calls you basically don't have to continue bluffing and turn this +EV play into -EV play.
So I would skip the cbet with just a gutshot and BDFD. Then probably make a delayed cbet if villain doesn't bet the flop, or if you want to go with a bluff I think this could be a potential check raise jam :f_biggrin:

I wouldn't choose this hand to 4-bet, especially on NL2.
