Hi,

this hand another quick question, after my own review I just didn't know, if we would fold this ever. Folding this would be folding the top of our range?

PokerStars - $0.02 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BTN): 101.5 BB
SB: 179 BB (VPIP: 14.71, PFR: 8.82, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 34)
BB: 91.5 BB (VPIP: 22.22, PFR: 11.11, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 9)
UTG: 98 BB
MP: 127.5 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: -, Hands: 3)
CO: 120 BB (VPIP: 66.67, PFR: 16.67, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 6)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q♣ Q♦

UTG raises to 4 BB, fold, fold, Hero calls 4 BB, fold, fold

Flop: (9.5 BB, 2 players) 3♦ 7♣ 9♠
UTG bets 9 BB, Hero calls 9 BB

Turn: (27.5 BB, 2 players) 5♠
UTG bets 13 BB, Hero calls 13 BB

River: (53.5 BB, 2 players) 7♥

Hello,

I would always 3bet this hand against unknown opponent. People at NL2 are definitely going to continue with much worse.

As played, I am never folding postflop as he could easily bet hands like 9x/JJ/TT or even some random bluffs.

Best,
Plamen

Thanks!

About the 3bet, since he open raises with 4bb UTG, I wouldn't 3bet.

I used to play very LAG style and played over 10BB/100 Hands NL5, but currently I am trying to apply w34z3l's handranges. So I am happy to force myself to learn to play somewhat tighter.

But after my recent experience, I think flatting vs 4BB UTG is more than fine. It avoided some big trouble spots and turned them into little trouble spots.

Thanks again!

Hey.
My 2c worth: I agree with cold calling the 4bb utg raise. NL2-10 zoom has a very nitty player pool and we are almost turning Qq into a bluff in these positions with a 3bet. Normal NL2 however is a different story...
As for the rest as you say you're towards the top of your range and he can be betting worse for value. I'd play the same way.
btw i've done exactly the same with w34z3l's ranges on NL5 zoom. Back onto normal tables now though as microstakes zoom sucks balls.

It's funny how falling feels like flying for a while...
