Hero (UTG): $5.30
CO: $4.61 (VPIP: 17.22, PFR: 12.45, 3Bet Preflop: 2.86, Hands: 279)

SB posts SB $0.02, BB posts BB $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has K:spade: A:club:

Hero raises to $0.15, CO raises to $0.52, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $0.37
--> What about 4-betting here?

Flop: ($1.11, 2 players) K:diamond: Q:club: 7:diamond:
Hero bets $0.92, CO raises to $4.09 and is all-in, Hero calls $3.17
--> Bad bad call. Does anyone think any different? I was very reluctant to call but was greedy enough to still do it. Given his stats, PF 3-Bet, and his flop raise: Would he do that with anything but QQ+?

Turn: ($9.29, 2 players) Q:spade:

River: ($9.29, 2 players) 5:heart:

CO shows A:spade: A:diamond: (Two Pair, Aces and Queens) (Pre 93%, Flop 91%, Turn 95%)
Hero shows K:spade: A:club: (Two Pair, Kings and Queens) (Pre 7%, Flop 9%, Turn 5%)
CO wins $8.83

When CO 3bets pre-, what do you think his range is? He's tight passive, so maybe something like TT+ AK? So 4betting when you're behind his range basically means you're repping a very narrow range and expecting him to fold quite a bit of his narrow range. The current pot odds are 2:1 but you're OOP so while I'd probably call at the table, it may well be -EV to do so.

Bet less on the flop, then fold. He's likely to fold any hand you're beating to any decent-sized amount, and pretty unlikely to be raising with anything you beat.

Smells an awful lot like a set. I mean, what else would he be stacking with at this point. I have to say, I might ressist folding myself in your spot. I would bet half pot here considering he was the pre-flop aggressor.

You have to make tough folds like these Poker, it's what makes a good player. Wish you luck at the tables :)
