Not a great hand all in all but something I tagged as bad, so I thought I'd put it up to review

Winning Poker Network (Yatahay) - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG: 52.5 BB (VPIP: 50.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, hands: 4)
CO: 66 BB (VPIP: 100.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 4)
BTN: 40 BB (VPIP: 36.84, PFR: 15.79, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 20)
SB: 44 BB (VPIP: 100.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 1)
Hero (BB): 76.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 9:heart: Q:heart:

fold, CO calls 1 BB, fold, SB calls 0.5 BB, Hero checks

Flop: (3 BB, 3 players) T:club: Q:diamond: 4:diamond:
SB checks, Hero checks, CO bets 1 BB, SB raises to 3 BB, Hero raises to 7 BB, CO raises to 11 BB, fold, Hero raises to 75.5 BB and is all-in, fold

My thoughts
I know it's short, but I had no information on this guy so I wanted to know if this was an ok shove. With no information, I thought the guy was weak from the start, I also figured he had something like non A non pair hands, possibly weak K or diamond connectors. I don't think he has anything even after a 3 bet, so no sets, and at most JT diamonds. If QT, my shove is trying to rep a set??? but I don't think that he had 2 pair as people don't really fold 2 pair or sets, often including myself. Big point, I didn't think showdown was an option... but I really don't know.

Hero wins 27 BB

Don't love getting it all in with top pair and not the greatest kicker, but villain is definitely a fish. The problem with trying to rep a set, is anyone this fishy at 2nl is pretty low level thinking (even if he's not a complete idiot). Players like this are rarely thinking about what you have, or what you're representing, more just looking at what they have.

Only four hands, but you can see hes a fish, he could show up with worse but I'd prefer a bigger sample to see just how likely he is turning up with complete crap. Wouldn't try and get it all in here.

I might raise this preflop on occasion.

As played, I really don't think we're ahead when we overbet-shove the flop. We only have TPMK but we're repping a set. Frankly, I'm amazed you took it down.


As an aside, why are you not topping up to the table max on each hand? You're missing value on big hands that way. Or was this a capped table?

Honestly I just don't really think about it. I think there is an automated seeing for it so I'll look into it.
