Just wondering what the most logical choice of action would be on the turn here?

Also am I raising flop or just calling ? he CB flop and turn 100%.

***Turn play*** Call his bet.

I would've originally bet the turn though to see where your at... Your opponent could have a wide range. It's a dangerous hand for you and you can easily stack your opponent if not careful.

These hands are great if you can keep control of the bet sizing, if you find things going out of control then often your going to be beat unless you get a miracle card on the flop.

Your kickers not great u could be easily outkicked. Or he's sitting on pocket 3's which would be often the case. But since he bet the way he did he might even just have any pockets out there which would be great for you. So since theres still hands he may hold and you can beat. You call and wait what the river brings.




***FLOP***

His bet sizing is very suspicious... I wouldn't be flat calling his bet on the flop but i'd pot size bet to see where we are at... He has a wide range here and could be setting you up to stack off.. If he calls then we travel carefully and try and control the pot size as low as possible from here on.



***Preflop***

I'd have probably folded this preflop. And only play these on the BTN/CO your often going to find yourself dominated with these hands and often find yourself second guessing which isn't great when your OOP. Much easier when your IP

you can raise him on the flop as his 3 bet range is so wide. Since now it comes to the turn, just raise him and check the river. I think most likely he is just holding a pocket pair

Fold pre.
Against anyone decent I'd hate check raising the flop, but villain isn't decent.
He's unlikely to barrel off his stack on a bluff, his range is going to be pretty tight here so we'll see KK+ quite often, and I can't see him folding KK+ (especially nowhe's induced with that small sizing) but he certainly won't put the money in himself.

Yeah after reviewing I figured fold pre was best option.

So basically though, as played, I raise flop then x/c turn and river? am I ever folding after this flop?

again thanks for input

Bet the turn and river. Check calling would be awful at that point as next to nothing you beat ever bets.

Only card that could make me consider folding would be an ace as KK+ no longer gets stacked.

Better queens will always stack us so the point in this line is to maximise the money we make from his KK+ hands with 0 thought towards AQ and the likes.

Easy fold pre, way too early position for full ring with that hand.

If he's cbetting flop and turn 100%, and his 3-bet percentage is so wide, you should be playing check/call the whole way. Depending on his river aggression, usually betting the river unless he's also really aggressive there.

You should turn your hand into a bluff pre-flop or fold though. If you don't know how to play this spots out of position, then you're better off solving the hand pre-flop, and 4-betting is extremely profitable against this opponent.

I wouldn't put much faith in villains 3bet% or turn/flop c-bet%s at this point.

Yeah that is what i figured ended up running into Aq.

Anyways fold pre got it

I would check call the flop and the turn, but if he bets the river your going to be dominated by a better queen, and yea with the consensus folding is the best play with this hand in early position.

Based on stats he's a reasonably aggro TAG. He has a better Q or 33 half the time, and KK+/Q9s the other half, but he can have some air. I'd consider this an easy 3-street peel for thin value as played.

I'd 4bet pre though because you're OOP and this guy's a really aggro 3bettor and you get great FE.
