Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 22/10/2

V1 limps in the LoJack running a 22/10. SB completes running a 34/21.

Hero has QQ in the BB.

What do you raise here with shallow stacks?

I raised to 1100. My PFR size is 660 at this level, I added 300 for the limper and 240 arbitrarily bc I am out of position.

V1 has a 67% limp fold percentage.

Both players called.

Here's the flop. Relatively safe one to cbet on. I get called by the SB who covers me.

Player VILLAIN2 checks
Player HERO bets (1770)

Player VILLAIN2 calls (1770)


But the turn brings in the flush. I suspect I'm good here but what do you guys do. I have less than a pot sized bet left and I have the Qd.

Any views?

Preflop you can go higher being OOP and having the dead money in there. Make it 1600-1800 and you can easily get it in on the flop with a caller.

As played, I'm torn between getting it all-in and checking back. We could be drawing to only a 4 or Q but then again we may get AdXx or 99-JJ to call it off too.

I liked your sizing on the pre and flop. Regarding your concern, I do not think that the V on the sb called your raise with the low suited connector or AX suited card (He should have raised with AX suited on sb before you raise not just a cold call). I would check back on the turn for the pot control and call the river bet if the V bet on the river. If he checks again on the river, I would go for the value on the river 40-50 % of the pot.

I would prefer a slight large isolation raise preflop seeing as there is two limpers in front of us at 150/300 blinds. With 2 limpers and being OOP, I would probably raise to 1475-1500 chips which would be a 2.2x open with a big blind added for each limper and another BB added for being OOP. This I believe would be pretty standard size, maybe slightly smaller, but I wouldn't go anything below 1400 imo. This way, if both players call and we see a good flop, we can easily get it all in on the turn without much to worry about, since the pot would be 4,200 and we would have about 6,400 in our effective stack.

In terms of the turn completing the flush draw, I don't think it really matters. Any competent player from the SB should be shoving all of his flush draws on the flop knowing that you're likely to shove almost every turn and then he won't be able to realize his equity. Especially with the Qd here, I think it's a slam dunk GII on the turn as we have a redraw if we are behind. With the stack sizes being what they are, I don't think theres much other option here, as a check on the turn and fold on the river would be super exploitable imo. Plus, as someone mentioned above, I think theres a lot of other hands we can get value from here.

tl;dr - easy shove on the turn, we have redraws and there are a lot of other hands that we can get value from.

I checked.

I felt like I misplayed this one. I think I need to jam turn to avoid tough spots and or lose value if an Ace or King hits on the river.

The river is a Ten completing the gutshot but V checks, so I think we can safely take the straight and flushes out of his range.

Do you bet your remaining 4800 into 7000 here? or smaller to make sure we get called?

I think you must play check call here. And you must call normal raize on the river
