SB: 100.6 BB (VPIP: 16.47, PFR: 8.43, 3Bet Preflop: 3.61, Hands: 253)
Hero (BB): 116.2 BB
UTG: 41.6 BB (VPIP: 66.67, PFR: 22.22, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 9)

CO: 29 BB (VPIP: 22.57, PFR: 7.22, 3Bet Preflop: 1.28, Hands: 448)

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has Q:heart: Q:diamond:

UTG raises to 11 BB, fold, MP calls 11 BB, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 10 BB

Flop: (33.4 BB, 3 players) J:club: T:diamond: A:spade:
Hero checks, UTG checks, MP checks

Turn: (33.4 BB, 3 players) 6:diamond:
Hero checks, UTG checks, MP checks

River: (33.4 BB, 3 players) 3:spade:
Hero checks, UTG checks, MP checks

I'm pretty sure check folding this down is fine (feel free to disagree), but pre?

Well you certainly took a different line with QQ. I'm actually wondering why, you didn't 3bet pre? Were you afraid of the MP player? I mean UTG Is a nut so really nothing to worry about with him preflop, but that MP flat, looks like Ax that might be somewhat afraid about getting Ax hands In preflop and likes to call. So AJ/AK/AQ are all In his/her range. Still I think you played your hand fine enough IMO after the flop. I can't see anything else but to Check/fold here.

11 bb raise though, lol. That's different and funny at the same time

I'd played like 3 hands already against UTG (who had only played 9) and whilst he was super fishy just playing anything, the 11bb was out of place.. Should probably have put that into the op - didn't really know what to make of it. I was pretty much more afraid of UTG than MP, because of the betsizing ... I default 3bet QQ, but his previous bets had been 3bb. Is it still right to 3bet when he's this kind of player? I think 3betting has a good chance of isolating UTG... Guess I was probably just playing scared. It happens a lot OOP and never sure why, but I struggle.

11bb raise is the beauty of 888 haha. Winning at over 20bb/100 for nearly 30k hands and consider myself a fish.

Sample size is only 9 hands. Could still be a TAG with a streak of good cards.

The giant open-raise is weird. Could be a KK/AA screwplay. Could be 72o. I don't really mind the flat.
Having MP in the middle makes it slightly better to squeeze, though.

I don't think preflop is very wrong. Postflop is check/fold unless a K hits.


UTG made this weird.

:confused: the flop was played correctly, but on the turn I would have played 3/4 of the Bank ... but this is my game and opinion

Weird bet sizing does indicate fish to me though, but since his past bets were all 3bb I wasn't sure if it meant AA/KK or not. Could be okay to try and squeeze and effectively put utg all in though. Larger hand sample I think I probably would have if he kept playing like that.
