Lovely spot but I think I should have been able to get alot more value. I was wondering if it is worth just jamming river since I think sb can have sets alot of the time. He is a pretty tight player and snap called pre. I just felt like he was really strong here. Should I make it bigger, just jam river or is my sizing about right.

I'm also curious if pre is ok given mp2 has a short stack

I think flatting pre is ok, I think my default though given our stack size I think I'd opt to just 3B iso him and discourage the blinds from calling and put him all in. It depends though on how he's been playing too.

I think your sizing is fine on the river to. NH!

 

[joe777]

Jamming the river against a player like that is pretty risky.I agree your betsizing on the river is fine as you would had some fold equity.

 

[horizon12]

In river you make maximum value with nut straight, reraise 2k enough,,,

 

[AtiFCOD]

I think this hand is ok. I guess he would have folded if u had raised more on the river.

 

[BenYuPoker]

Pre is acceptable, but 3 betting is probably slightly better for your range/playability. KQo isn't so pretty that you mind if you have to fold to a 4bet. Would flat KQs.

SBs range is consistent with having a lot of sets or JT/J9 2 pair, but her sizing isn't. If they had bet over 1k, I'd feel much more comfortable about shoving. I think this sizing is plenty big already, even for these stakes where you will be called more liberally.

 

[hffjd2000]

I do agree with the course at hand.

Betting more might make him fold since you mentioned he is pretty tight.

 

[Jacki Burkhart]

I'm thinking that you extracted very well on the river. If you bet much more then you run a really big risk of not getting paid. I think if you're going to bet more, you have to jam to make it look like a bluff. Any raise bigger than $2,000 but less than all in looks really suspicious.

You never know.. it is nice with poker - you can calculate chances with tools or count odds with your head but whether you will get straight or not depends on your luck.. I think however you played it safe and well and you will know better with more experience in future how to play these hands to maximize the outcome in chips

I would raised it to 2500 or 3000 nice hand by the way.
