1. My afterthought is I should have gone all-in right away on a flop instead of usual cbetting, because the board looks ugly.
2. Is it even thinkable of playing my hand passively? (I really doubt it, but just asking for confirmation).

I haven`t encountered that kind of hand very often so probably that is why I think I made a mistake here.

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.05/$0.1 No-Limit Hold'em (7 handed)

Known players:
[tg]MP3(Hero)$3.37:///////;CO$1.30:///////;BU$7.84:///////;SB$6.06:///////;BB$9.48:///////;MP1$4.58:///////;MP2$1.20:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A:h, Q:s.
MP1 calls $0.10, MP2 folds, Hero raises to $0.50, 4 folds, MP1 calls $0.40.

Flop: ($1.15) Q:d, 9:d, 6:d (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets $0.75, MP1 calls $0.75.

Turn: ($2.65) 8:d (2 players)
MP1 bets $1.50, Hero folds, MP1 gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: $2.65.

Hey Bubalus,

playing SSS with more than 25BBs is a mistake, because the strategy doesn't work then, but if you were waiting to be blinded out then it's fine.

The hand is well played, I wouldn't play any different. C-bet 2/3 of pot size on the flop is standard and push with so big stack would be an overbet. On the turn when fourth :diamond: arrives you really cannot look at your TPTK as a made hand anymore and have to check/fold.

And to your question, playing passively on such draw heavy board is not an option.

Regards,

Thanks. I was indeed waiting for the blinds before leaving the table.
