$25 NL HE 6-max: how should i play this overpair?

looking back , after he bets the flop i should've folded right? unless he was completely bluffing with AK. But thats the only thing we can beat, right?

PokerStars - $0.25 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

Hero (UTG): $12.50
MP: $5.90
CO: $25.50
BTN: $5.00
SB: $8.30
BB: $12.50

SB posts SB $0.10, BB posts BB $0.25

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.35) Hero has Q Q

Hero raises to $1.00, fold, fold, fold, fold, BB raises to $3.10, Hero calls $2.10

Flop: ($6.30, 2 players) J 2 7
BB bets $4.50, Hero raises to $9.40 and is all-in, BB calls $4.90 and is all-in

Turn: ($25.10, 2 players) 5

River: ($25.10, 2 players) 4

Wtf, you have half a stack. It doesn't matter how you put the money in. I prefer 4-betting pre, but if this guy is 3-betting light a lot, I suppose you can call and CRAI most flops.

Seriously though, you have an over pair with an SPR of 1.5, just fist pump & get the money in.

Also, wtf is up with the half stack? Isn't the point of playing a half stack so that you never have to fold an over pair, ever? The whole nature of this post just leads me to believe that you really have no idea what's going on, and you should really go back to the books and re-evaluate.

dude before you get all crazy, it was a 20-50 bb table. all the fish have been at these tables ever since stars started doing this. didnt you wonder why another guy had exactly 12.50?

That poses another question, why are u playing 20-50bb tables?

But honestly just +1 to C9s post.
If you are ever folding a overpairs in a 3bet pot with 50bb effective stacks u might as well just start burning money imo.

If your uncomfortable playing with 100bb stacks at 25nl just play 10nl for 100bb, its less varience and you can have higher winrates...

And my post still applies. Your stacks are still 50bb's effective, and you sat down in a game where you were giving up an edge because you didn't know how to play even the most standard spots. If I didn't know how to play Badugi, I wouldn't sit down at a Badugi table. You obviously don't know the basics about playing 50bb's deep, but you sat down at a 50bb deep table...

Isn't the fact that you sat down at a 50bb table worse? If you were at a normal table, and just dropped down to 50bb's and forgot to reload, at least you didn't intend to play somewhere where you don't have a skill edge.

Seriously, this post reads like this:

"I have the top of my range, I'm committed, and I put all my money in. Did I screw this up?"

um i explained WHY i am playing these levels, not because i cant play with 100bb but because (quoted from my last post which i guess you guys didnt read) "all the fish have been at these tables ever since stars started doing this". why not learn a person's story before just straight up attacking them.

and i was asking other peoples opinions if i played it right and i guess i did. DANG isnt what this forum is for, HAND ANALYSIS?? its about learning isnt it? if your just gonna attack people without knowing ANYTHING and just making straight up assumptions please stay out.

bigboi c9 is giving you a hard time but out of good will. he's saying that 50bb play is different from 100bb play and you should look into 50bb play before you sit down at that sort of table.
The basic rule of decreasing BBs is upping the value of absolutely everything.
this is an example of a shove/fold chart according to the nash equilibrium:
http://www.holdemresources.net/hr/sngs/hune.html
as you can see the sort of hands that are correct to shove HU with 20 bbs are even 56s.
extrapolate on this basic notion and you'll get where he's going with this.

in short:
shove pf
