Yeah looks alright. I think we hear from 2 pair on the flop so ship turn to get money from draws.

Nice hand, but just realize you're going to lose this a decent amount of the time (to draws, JJ, ect.). If you win this 60% of the time though, you're still making big money.

I think this is ok. I think your pre flop raise is on the large side, do you do much 3-betting pre flop? and if so are you sizing it differently based on your hand strength? Against super fish its good to raise larger with your better hands, but with no information (as in this case) I'm merging my sizing and making everything 40c (8bb), but my 3-bet stat is borderline spewy haha.

Its weird that SB flats us, this makes me think that they are a bit fishy. MP will be expected to flat with almost their entire opening range once SB calls (which I think is bad but its what we should expect).

Flop is good for us I like your bet, I might make it a bit more but SB is short stacked so I don't mind 19bb

And turn is good for us too, when SB check calls I'm noting them as a fish, they should be shoving all their made hands on this flop and folding all their air (and probably not flatting pre either). MP has a bunch of top pair and mid pairs in their range and probably raises us on the flop with their best hands, I like the shove, MP only has 3/4 of pot left and there is so much in there now and getting him to fold his draws isn't actually terrible.

Nice hand.

I don't really 3bet too often at 5nl on bovada without premium starting cards against most opponents. I usually raise big because these players love to call. They don't seem to pay attention to raise sizes. MP had JTo and SB had J7s in this hand and they both called.

Unless I am blind did we see a result, but I am a fan of getting it in with an over pair in a cash game... you need to eliminate certain hands, and get max value at the same time.. So I am hoping you won this.. but I am a fan of the way it was played..

I lost to the person in MP. He flopped 2 pair with JTo.
