Hand converted by PokerTracker 4


SB: 83.18 BB (VPIP: 7.69, PFR: 3.85, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, hands: 27)
MP: 112.4 BB (VPIP: 20.96, PFR: 16.19, 3Bet Preflop: 5.94, Hands: 740)
Hero (MP+1): 127.04 BB


SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q K

fold, fold, MP raises to 3 BB, Hero raises to 9 BB, fold, fold, SB calls 8.5 BB, fold, MP calls 6 BB

Flop: (28 BB, 3 players) 8 5 4
SB checks, MP checks, Hero bets 19.16 BB

Question
Is the three bet here ok and what about the sizing?

My line of thinking was that the board texture favors my range being big pairs (AA-QQ) or AK, while they most likely don't hold AA or KK as they did not 4 Bet. I also block KK and QQ.

Hmm a 3-bet is fine, you are in pos. with a fairly strong holding. I would maybe size it bigger.

C-betting here is fine, this flop doesn't really hit anybodys range.

You made the move to reraise preflop so c-bet here is needed especially on a flop like that.

Everything looks standard to me. Definitely Cbet here given the 3 bet preflop IP. If you face a call you have plenty of equity against A8s/K8s. Worst that could happen is an unlikely check raise against your Cbet, in which case I would be thinking some sort of set
