Question: Isn't luck for me or i could find fold? Thanks

Hi, this is what I would have done, easy fold pre-flop I do not know what reading you had of the opponent that with Q7 you called that raise, the rest of the hand does not have much to analyze with all respect I think you lost this hand in the pre-flop

I've got the same opinion about it. But he made a 3bet though, didn't call there. I would like to know why you did that, and what your thought process was like!

Very tough hand, I certainly wouldn't have folded. That's the issue with playing bad hands, there's so many ways things can go wrong, for example with reverse implied odds.

Small blind vs big bĺind is a good fight.When I am small blind I generally try to steal with shoves.

When he called your raise on the flop that was a red flag.

Yeah, I agree this is a fold PF. But you got the top pair... when he calls your flop bet, you should have sirens going off. FOLD FOLD FOLD .... don't worry, you'll get 'em next time

Yah BB is better position to win against SB I say but if you have a hand always smooth call your SB for the highest rewards

Depends on the information we got about the opponents. Honestly it might be tough but i think you could find the fold on the river aganist that over bet show. What bluff he might show there AK ?? Worst possible hand he is showing it’s Q and probably with better kicker than yours. I wish you could make at least pot control check on the flop then just play check call game.

He steals the blinds. Did not once. I folded, now decided to answer with 3bet. Of course, I collected Four of a Kind of three cards to one , but I don’t have to believe every time ?! on the river, I thought he had a queen too.

If you really wanna 3-bet that hand, make sure it has enough fold equity. Whenever I decide to 3-bet I choose from 3x to 3.5x the current bet size. By betting rouhgly 2x you made it too hard for the other player to fold.

I agree with how you played the rest of the hand, very tough to lay down a full house. By the river you could maybe fold by thinking that you're only really beating a bluff. The worst hand that would shove for value would be a Q with which you would split the pot (there is no kicker in a full house). The last 5 or QQ would win the hand and are the only other possibilities. So it all comes down to the question: "is he bluffing?". If you think he isn't, definitely fold. The pot odds are terrible if you know you can only split it.

Agreed 100% with flop check for pot control,especially holding 1 heart. Less likely to check flop if I have no heart blockers. I am rarely making the 3B w Q7o bvb, UNLESS I have been able to extract folds by doing this previously.

As played, calling river.

Pre is close but generally should be a fold.

Flop we should check or bet smaller generally.

As played we cant fold river.

As soon as they call your raise preflop, that should send off some signals that you're up against something strong. I do understand the re-raise and trying to steal it, but if they are playing strong and good hand poker, that's a tough raise to make.

you had position he would only make that move if he had the 5, you should have folded.
