Don't think you can fold at any point, 3 bet pre is sketchy but should probably be fine.

So you lose to AJ, which I feel is unlikely, I don't see people going for stacks with it in these kinds of pots. This line is also quite nonstandard for QJ. You lose to QQ which I can see flatting your raise preflop and then deciding it's good on the flop. And 1010 which I see playing the same way preflop.

You are beating AK/AQ/KQ of hearts which I can see played this way, but maybe they check-fold the river when called, since they would be blocking your missed draws pretty hard.

Since the price is so good, yeah, have to call.

Check back flop. With an SPR of 3, we don't want to stack off here. We are either way ahead or way behind, and pot control is preferable to betting to avoid giving away a free card. Hand ranges are much stronger in 3-bet pots, and this is not a clear value bet. As played, calling but hating it.

quite a bold drawing of KJ, after two calls on the flop, and further increase of aggression is a fold with one pair to call all-in is impossible, I think:rolleyes:

I don't like the 3-bet preflop to be honoust. Probably flatting is just okay and you want to go to a cheap showdown. Also as said before you created a small spr, but if you just call you have a better SPR. As toppair good kicker is not enough to stack off.

Pot control hand here. To easy to be behind here so I would keep it small.

Checking flop isnt bad either although once we check it we still GII with an spr of 3 on this blank run out. Maybe 3 betting this hand pre is the mistake vs a nit in CO if we feel un comfortable when we flop TPGK

13vpip and 15 hands isnt enough to justify a nit.

Also a nit id consider 8 and under and even nits slightly open their range later position

Unless they r the vpip of 2 lol

I don't like the preflop 3-bet. Sample size is very small, but his preflop stats indicate he might have a notion of what he's doing.

Vs a reasonable range of 22+,A2s+,K8s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T8s+,98s,87s,76s,A8o+,KTo+,QTo+,JTo you only have 50% equity.
I think I would coldcall preflop.


Postflop I would play the same as you did, given the preflop. But I'm not sure it's the best play.
You can't really fold here as played. Sucks if he shows you A6s.
