PokerStars - $0.10 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players

I think I played this badly..

Hero (SB): 102.7 BB
BB: 54.3 BB (VPIP: 50.00, PFR: 16.67, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, hands: 12)
UTG: 63.5 BB (VPIP: 16.67, PFR: 16.67, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)
CO: 51.7 BB (VPIP: 58.33, PFR: 25.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)
BTN: 106.9 BB (VPIP: 10.00, PFR: 10.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 10)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 3♦ 4♦

fold, CO raises to 4 BB, BTN calls 4 BB, Hero calls 3.5 BB, fold

Flop: (13 BB, 3 players) 6♦ 5♠ 8♦
Hero checks, CO bets 7 BB, BTN calls 7 BB, Hero calls 7 BB

Turn: (34 BB, 3 players) 4♠
Hero checks, CO checks, BTN bets 24.3 BB, Hero calls 24.3 BB, CO raises to 40.7 BB and is all-in, fold, Hero calls 16.4 BB

River: (139.7 BB, 2 players) Q♥

Hero shows 3♦ 4♦ (One Pair, Fours) (Pre 20%, Flop 41%, Turn 36%)
CO shows 9♠ 9♦ (One Pair, Nines) (Pre 80%, Flop 59%, Turn 64%)
CO wins 133.4 BB

Why do you play this hand so aggressive? Even folding at preflop is not a wrong decision.

how much bankroll do you have
if you have 300 times full buyin in NL10. like 3000 USD or more

By noticed the Co's data VPIP 58, PFR 23.
I would check directly push 51BB effective stack with a range and your hand is in that push range.

think if you are using this strategy, Ultra aggressive, you need to have huge bankroll and suffer from high variance.

but this is by far I know the most profitable way to play poker. you may play a lot hands, and widen your range, alway let your opponent playing guessing games. and make all your opponents feel timid... beside it is +EV which means in the long run, you earning huge profit.

but the bad thing is high variance, lost about 40 buyins a months or a week is normal. and upswing like wining 60 even 100 buyins a week is also normal.

I played this on playmoney...LOL

Two different people now are referring to OP's play as super aggressive yet he never made a single aggressive action in the hand. Not one bet or raise, just checking and calling.

To respond to your first comment in OP, yes, you played this badly.
Fold, fold and fold.
Learn about position and calling ranges (which leads to ask WHY we call OOP in the first place, which haas to do with planning future streets). You show zero understanding of this. This is not meant as a flame, simply an observation and to point out what you did not think about - among other obvious things, like simply folding here most of the time -, and should have.

fold pre flop only 3ways and CO isn't deep enough to make calling OK, calling flop is fine, calling turn is horrible odds just aren't there.

Apparently you're bad at odds...

I raise the flop if I play this hand. But I want both other players to be bad in the same way (either too nitty, or too loose), and easy to control before I play this hand preflop. You're playing against a taggish guy, and the CO looks pretty maniacal. Seems like it'll be hard to play against those two.

Other preflop ideas: This isn't a bad spot to squeeze if the CO had more non-insane stats.

24BB to win 58BB, please tell me how they are good odds with a little over 20% equity.

Squeezing is not in your usual ABC poker tools. You see it a lot though from 50NL up. It is a tool that will add a little to your winning rate. You need to find new ways to increase your profit because ABC poker will not be enough anymore. It is not a move to pull if you are not used to it. It is not that much about the odds. It is about good understanding of how opponents will react, good board reading and fold equity, a good polarized range, etc.

i'm confused why are you talking about squeezing? I was simply stating that calling the turn is wrong, obviously after the short stack jams then we call but calling the original bet isn't the right play.

the best decicion - fold preflop. It`s impossible to play this hand! If U play- monsterdraw is good. U have to push or fold on flop. If U push, I think, that opponent will fold

but if you call the flop, I would shove here.
