I am not happy about how I played this hand at all.
Only preflop seems good to me. QJs is in my calling range IP.
I flopped the nut straight so I wanted to raise for value and protection but my raise is too small. I did it because I was afraid to get villain of his hand. But would it be better to shove this hand on this board in 3bet pot? I got scared on the turn so I just checked. On the river, I didn't really think about the hand and wanted to get the most value of my flopped straigh. I'm aware my thought process didn't make much of a sense.

I would raise more on the flop. $1,40 is a better sizing than a min raise. Than you can shove most turns for value.

As played the river is tricky. On a paired board and 3 cards for a flush I don't see a point in shoving against a over bet without any info on the villain in this hand.

Cheers,

OTF 2.5 x seems ok, we don’t want to raise to big when the SPR is low maybe a bet of 1.10 is fine there. OTT the K is a concerning card because villain can have KK,TT and 99 which we lose to but they also might shove those on the flop some portion of the time. This is were I would count combos. We are losing to TT=3 combos ,99= 3 combos and KK= 1 combo , totalling 7 combos

Villain may have AK here which by itself has 8 combos, if you include a few FD’s and possibly AA or KQ I think we have enough combos to bet the turn for value. As played on river its tough, your getting 2:1 and we have to come up with hands we beat. If he plays AK like this I think we can call, if he only plays his boats and flushes this way we must fold I think
