Dont know if I have to be embarrassed about the way I played this hand or if my line makes sense in a way? :f_rolleyes:
Preflop I like to defend Q9s vs bu. When the flop came I was like 'yea baby, this board really hits my range hard and he will never be that strong to keep calling my bets for three streets.... well, I was wrong :f_mad: . I think in most cases an A and definitely a K and flushdraw will fold by the river, cause we have AK, KK+ in our range and villain not.

Two things I like to adress too:
1) WTSD was 35, which is pretty high, so I should not use this line on this guy but use it on villains with a WTSD <25 ??
2) I should only use this line if we have at least some equity to the nuts, like for example J10, QJ or Q10???

Really curious about the opinions! Please don't bash me if you think I do not make sense at all playing Q9s like this :f_tongue:

This seems spewy to me. :)

Depends on the exact ranges, but in general you're right, your depolarized 3betting range will probably always be stronger than his middlish 3bet calling range, plus this board favours your range a bit more, so you can cbet wide, at least in theory.

Having said that, I think Qh9h is a great candidate for x/folding on the flop, it's one of our strongest air, so we don't make him fold many better hands anyway (maybe some 77-22, but not much more), we don't have good backdoors to barrel, so x/folding seems fine. We can still cbet very wide. Also we can use a smaller sizing, as board is quite static, equities won't change that much on future streets, and this way we also force him to defend wider, with weaker hands against our stronger range.

Btw, wtsd means nothing after 325 hands.

1) JUST BECAUSE you have the range advantage doesn't mean you can fire 100% of the time
he can always start making light calldown

2) betting flop is fine, turn barrel without equity is bad

3) a ton of draws missed, you have to shutdown sometimes
