fold, Hero raises to €1.25, fold, SB raises to €4.50, fold, Hero raises to €10.25, SB calls €5.75

Flop: (€21.00, 2 players) 7♥ Q♦ 4♥
SB checks, Hero bets €7.00, SB calls €7.00

Turn: (€35.00, 2 players) 8♥
SB checks, Hero checks

River: (€35.00, 2 players) J♣
SB bets €11.00, fold

No info.

Preflop it`s probably just a flat. I don`t know why i decided to 4b, but it can`t be terrible.

I think Cbeting the flop is fine. I`m not sure about the plan for the turn. I can bet a diamond. Maybe a K/9(since i pick up equity), but i`m not sure. On the other cards, betting with this hand seems spewy. (on an A, i`ll check turn and call river)

Hi AchillesBG

Look at the flop and look at what potential range villain has. What are you targeting here? Are pairs folding? What else is there? Are there hands like KJ, KT or what exactly do we want him to fold to 1/3 bet?

Well i`m not sure about his range, but i guess he can have some medium PP that are not folding. Probably AQ/KQs - obviously not folding. I guess he can have AJ(s),ATs.

If his range is smth. like that: QQ-99,AQs-ATs,KJs+,AQo-AJo

1/3 bet(my standart bet in 4b pots) is slightly +EV, but AJo might not be in his range, which makes the bet - EV.

If i bet the turn i don`t think that he is folding a lot either - maybe some PP without a heart.

I guess Qxx hits his range very well (because he probably has all combos AQ and medium PP) and i should be giving up a lot?

You got it. I think that checking back the flop and continuing decent turn cards is superior here vs unknown in a 4-bet pot.

You simply don't have the FE you need here imo.
