Questioning plays on all the streets.
Hero (MP): 95 BB ~(VPIP 14, PFR 12, 3Bet Preflop 5)
MP+1: 142 BB (VPIP: 65.38, PFR: 19.23, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, hands: 26)
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has
Qh, Kc
fold, fold, Hero raises to 4 BB, MP+1 calls 4 BB, fold, CO calls 4 BB, fold, fold, fold
Thought here standard open from this position and the MP+1 is going to call with almost anything.
Flop: (13.5 BB, 3 players)
4d, Ks, Qs
Hero bets 10 BB, MP+1 calls 10 BB, fold
So flopped top two pair against flush or straight draws and behind three different sets. The 75% continuation bet is a little low giving decent odds for anyone on a good draw. At the .01/.2 level most callers on the flop pay no attention to the odds versus the outs so I use a little lower bet here than I should if I was going to force the draws to fold or make a bad call.
Q1) Should I reconsider my standard bet sizing here?
Q2) At this level with this stack should I over bet or even shove a percentage of the time with both top two pair or the bottom pair included in the two to protect the hand on a wet board?
Turn: (33.5 BB, 2 players)
Ac
Hero bets 15 BB, MP+1 calls 15 BB
This is where I think I made my first bad play. Normally I would check with the A making both the flush and straight draws good. But with a 65% VPIP I expect villain to bet anything, especially and A, if I don’t double barrel so what’s the good of checking. I think I let his looseness convince to spend chips I should not although we are still good here and except for top pair hasn’t improved his hand.
Q1) What should I have been thinking here?
River: (63.5 BB, 2 players)
Ts
Hero checks, MP+1 bets 45 BB, Hero raises to 66 BB and is all-in, MP+1 calls 21 BB
Here I just got stubborn with the 10 which took my +70% equity and erased it. I’m bluffing and he has the goods.
Hero shows
(Two Pair, Kings and Queens)
(Pre 41%, Flop 78%, Turn 73%)
MP+1 shows
As, Jc
(Straight, Ace High)
(Pre 59%, Flop 22%, Turn 27%)
MP+1 wins 186 BB
So, I need to do better here but I think the improvement has to really come on the turn or flop.
