Apart for the dumb donk shove at the end how should io have played it
This guy is aggressive with any pair with 1-3 people in the pot.
As for stats how do i get them up?
Thank you

Donking the turn for pot doesn't do much against an aggressive calling station who's attached to pairs, we have no fold equity. We've got a pretty nice draw, but we're oop and a flush is going to be pretty obvious (if a non-diamond J hits, our implied odds are better than a diamond on the river. I might c/c turn if I think Villain's a super calling station and will call a river shove if one of the draws completes.

If we think his range is wide enough and/or that he'll fold to a 3bet, 3betting pf is attractive. With initiative, we'll be able to cbet flop and turn and expect some FE. Not keen on completing the sb, we're drawing out of position.

To display stats, you'll need a HUD - search for "HEM" or "PT3" on this forum.

c/c means "check/call", i.e. check the turn with the intent of calling a bet from Villain.

Ok, so he's agg - do we think he has a good enough hand (or is stubborn enough) that he won't fold if the flush completes or the straight completes on the river? Conversely, do we think he'll fold if we donk bet the turn if he's holding, say, an Ax hand (forgot to clean the results up, please don't put the results into the opening post)?

Keep in mind, he raised pf representing a strong hand - that flop hits his range pretty hard. Hero completes the small blind rather than 3betting, representing weaker hand preflop - that flop does not hit Hero's range all that hard. Villain could justify to himself calling down with a simple pair of A's based on that reasoning.

You can look him up on the Players tab (which also shows his stats), or you can use the hand replayer to replay the hand, the HUD will appear on the hand replayer showing his stats.

best advice i can give is raise or fold in the SB, on this occasion fold.

Nice draw on the flop, maybe a c/r would have given you the best edge in the game. If he shoves you have tonnes of outs although it would have been nice to have the last bet.

If he calls just c/f the turn or get it in.

Preflop: I don't like the call OOP, this for me is a fold or 3bet with a weaker villain - based on what you have said this isn't going to work so I fold.

Flop: Nice flop for us defintely c/c here to chase our draw. Implied odds are good if a non diamond jack hits. A diamond is good but may kill the action.

Turn: Bad move. Donking here is not good. In this spot I'm checking and only calling with good odds. We have a lot of outs still but be careful chasing against the odds if the implied odds are not there.

River: Check and shutdown if you are bet into. You have no showdown potentali.

I definitely think hands like Q10s should be 3bet or fold, depending on villain, calling is really weak, by raising you take initiative and reduce positional disadvantage and you also get an idea of how strong his hand is. I agree with check/calling a reasonable turn bet, you pot it, and if he shoves on it for any reason, you are way behind with 1 card to come i think.

I see a lot of people shove the river with the rest of their stack if they missed the draw and for a lot of people it will be really hard to fold a 5$ pot to a 2 dollar shove, esp since so many people are attached to pairs.

Pot control will save you a lot of spew in this case, and over time you will lose a lot of money like this, and conversely you will gain a lot because of implied odds if you play this conservatively.

3 top things for micros via tubasteve from deucescracked which have really helped me:

Value bet
Dont bluff
And dont pay off

hope this helps

Just check/bomb the flop if you insist on playing this hand preflop. Cold calling kinda turns your hand face up, and 3-betting the flop will look insanely strong.
