$0.10/$0.20 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

SB: $42.96 (214.8 bb)
BB: $30.68 (153.4 bb)
UTG: $24.48 (122.4 bb)
MP: $20 (100 bb)
Hero (CO): $21.97 (109.9 bb)
BTN: $74.68 (373.4 bb)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J K
MP posts BB OOP, UTG calls $0.20, MP checks, Hero raises to $1, 2 folds, BB calls $0.80, UTG calls $0.80, MP folds

Flop: ($3.30) 9 7 3 (3 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($3.30) Q (3 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $1.60,

UTG is 91/5 fish /22 hands
MP is 19/16 reg /300 hands
BB is 28/21 reg/850 hands

pre: standard iso raise.

Flop: horrible flop, I was going to x/f

Turn: Q hits, and also 2 flushdraws. Both players check to me again. I think that if either of them has Qx/ stronger hand they would bet it themselves because of the draws. I can represent a Queen as the pfr so I decide to bet. I could have bet a little bit bigger but for some reason I only bet half pot. std would be 60% pot here for me.

If one of them calls my plan otr is to bet if I hit a king and if both of the FD: s brick I'm going to bet like 1/3 pot to fold out the missed draws that might beat me at showdown. I don't need to bluff with bigger size because I'm just trying to fold out their missed draws.

I like betting turn and I'd make it a bit bigger because I want to be able to barrel some rivers. Betting 1/3 on the river if draws miss doesn't seem like a good plan because you beat most of the missed draws anyway - there are too many pairs in the turn calling range to justify betting to fold out A high FDs only (some of these also bet turn).

There won't be that much 9x in the reg's range, otherwise he would have bet with Qx-s against the fish in most of the time. So I assume he will fold quite often. As for the fish his range is very broad, so he will also fold a lot, and he can even call you with worse hands. So the size of your bet is good, and if only the reg called, i would bet the river as well. Against the fish i would simply xb the river

I like the bet on turn when flop was checked down.
We are IP and we do not have to bet on river of we miss.

We cant really represent any hands with c/c/b line on this board.

He means x/b/b.
I am not sure we should bet river too.

i like just checking behind here.. its more safe approach there is not that much in the pot anyways and we can still hit on the river.

I like the turn stab. Most of the times we should bet river too in my opinion. Villain might have those draws but he could also call one street with small pocket pairs. Bet small OTR to fold out those pockets and missed A-high FDs.

The river bet depends on what card will fall .

Yes, flush cards are not the best ones.

Results:

Spoiler

$3.30 pot ($0.22 rake)
Final Board: 9 7 3 Q
BB mucked and lost (-$1 net)
UTG mucked and lost (-$1 net)
Hero mucked J K and won $3.08 ($2.08 net)

Thanks all. It is hard to discuss river play as it depends a lot on what card comes and who calls. This time they both folded to my turn bet.

I agree. Bet BIG if you want folds. Stabbing the turn is quite mandatory here, but you have to barrel many rivers too because I don't expect these guys to fold Gutshots/any pair/flushdraws with pairs on the flop. And KJ seems like a good hand to do that.

I disagree with the statement that we are good vs most draws if they bust. Flushdraws can still bust, but pick up a weak pair on the river for instance, or already have a pair on the flop, or are simply Ahigh

Betting 1/3rd won't fold out these FDs with small pairs though. I meant we're beating most of the FDs that will fold to our 1/3rd bet and that's why I don't like the idea, I have nothing against barreling big on the river.

Barreling big after the flop checks is inconsistent story...

How do you play Qx if that seems inconsistent? It's practically the nuts on a blank river so I'm going for big sizings with my polarized range.

What is big? We bet 1/2 OTT, 1/2 should be ok OTR too.
Betting 1/2 first and then increasing our bet size a lot looks more bluffy imo and we are repping only AQ,QQ.

I think that a bet in the range of 1/3-1/2 is ok. Agree that it looks bluffy.

Since you raised pre flop, then checked the flop, a bet on the turn doesn't tell a convincing story. Honestly, I would have just folded this hand pre flop.
