Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Porneşte mâna

$0.02/$0.05 No-Limit Hold'em (2 handed)

Known players:
[tg]SB$9.10:///////;BU (Hero)$5.11:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BU with K:h, T:c.
Hero raises to $0.12, SB calls $0.07.

Flop: ($0.24) Q:c, Q:h, 5:c (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

Turn: ($0.24) J:s (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.20, SB calls $0.20.

River: ($0.64) 9:d (2 players)
SB bets $0.25, Hero raises to $4.79, SB calls $4.54.

Final Pot: $10.22.

Villain plays 29/4/76 hands.

I opened the button and he calls. Check-check flop. On the turn i have OESD and i bet , he calls again. On the river I hit my straight and he donkbets under half of the pot. I shoved hopping to get value from a Qx type hand.Other line would be to raise to 1.5-2$. In this case if he shoves can we fold? Thanks!

Hi dragobeteeee,

Preflop: loooks fine

Postflop: Given it's heads up villain can have a really wide range so we can try to get him to fold with flop/tunr bets.

As played I think your river shove is fine.

He is never folding a Qx hand that he slowplayed and while boats are possible they shouldn't be that common.

when a passive villain leads the river on this very connected paired board I see a lot of Qj q9 here. Would be inclined to just call here. The 9 on the river is a bad card for him if he has Qx and a tight villain might just prefer to just xc.

We don't actually know if he is passive postflop, just know that he is tighter preflop. However, we are HU and he already put the BB so he has to call just 7c preflop. Thus his range is a lot wider than QJ/Q9
