Hero shows A♠ Q♠ (One Pair, Queens) (Pre 71%, Flop 81%, Turn 84%)

Should I shove the flop? As played would you call this turn? In game it felt like he overcalled preflop with KQs or QJs but it could easily be a set or KJs.

Well its 5way pot so raising flop can be bit optimistic. Though field in these games are very soft so I suppose its ok.

I think villain is more likely just shoving flop if he has two pairs or set. So this turn shove could be more likely some TJ, QJ type of hand. KJ makes sense as well. But I would not be giving up with 900 left. When you decide to raise flop you should not be folding versus one opponent barely on any turns imo. Some K :heart: possibly, but not on anything else.

For flop sizing I think its ok. Prefer it over shove because we want to lure most of his range to continue. Sometimes he will suck out, but this is still way for max value overall.

Hello all,

Preflop:

OK.

Flop:

I don't like the raise with so many people in the hand. We are basicly turning it into a bluff with this stacks. Its over playing to raise/call on the flop with so many players in the hand and we are turning it into a bluff if we raise/fold. That's why I prefer just to call here.

Turn:

As played, very nasty spot here. We gave villain good odds on the flop so he can called us there with a lot of staf that he is playing this way now. Many pairs with a draw. We need only ~30% here to stack off. IMO we got a lot more. I don't think we are ahead of his range but we got the odds so I would crying call here.

Guys if you have any questions, do not hesitate to write in this thread by clicking the button or

Best regards,
Antoan :pokerface:
