10NL 6-max zoom on pokerstars. Villain is unknown.

BTN: $10.15
SB: $13.26
Hero (BB): $64.20
UTG: $11.86
MP: $10.00
CO: $6.10

Pre Flop: ($0.15) Hero is BB with J:diamond: Q:diamond:
UTG raises to $0.22, MP calls $0.22, 2 folds, SB raises to $0.90, Hero calls $0.80, UTG calls $0.68, MP calls $0.68

Flop: ($3.60) 9:heart: Q:spade: J:spade: (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $2.10, UTG calls $2.10, MP folds, SB folds

Turn: ($7.80) 4:spade: (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $3.79, Hero raises to $61.20 all in

What do you think about the way hero played this hand? It was an awful turn card and there was a lot out there that had me beat (sets, straights and flushes), but I felt that I was almost committed to getting my stack in... should I have folded the turn instead?

I would make your flop sizing much larger on this board texture. I don't even hate an overbet all in. If you would of made your sizing bigger on the flop I would agree with you on being committed. I definitely think you made the worst play on the turn, I think bet folding to a shove would be much superior, to just a stack off.

I think I fold preflop. With unknowns left to act (including the UTG opener), I'd rather not risk getting 4-bet squeezed.


As played, I go for a near-pot bet on the flop.

As played, I think I just check/fold. A two-pair is a bluff-catcher at best on this board, imo.
You're never folding a flush anyway, and it looks like that's what he has.
