PokerStars - $0.05 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 109.4 BB (VPIP: 16.67, PFR: 14.29, 3Bet Preflop: 6.06, Hands: 86)
SB: 155.2 BB (VPIP: 20.75, PFR: 15.09, 3Bet Preflop: 10.53, Hands: 54)
Hero (BB): 102.2 BB
UTG: 97.6 BB (VPIP: 15.79, PFR: 10.53, 3Bet Preflop: 15.00, Hands: 59)
MP: 118.4 BB (VPIP: 22.73, PFR: 20.45, 3Bet Preflop: 15.00, Hands: 47)
CO: 103.8 BB (VPIP: 20.69, PFR: 13.79, 3Bet Preflop: 5.26, Hands: 30)

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has Q♠ K♣

fold, MP raises to 2.2 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 1.2 BB

Flop: (4.8 BB, 2 players) 6♥ 9♦ J♠
Hero checks, MP bets 3.4 BB, Hero calls 3.4 BB

Turn: (11.6 BB, 2 players) K♠
Hero checks, MP checks

River: (11.6 BB, 2 players) 3♠
Hero checks, MP checks

Three questions about this hand:

1st. - I know that playing ability of this hand is rather not good, especially vs MP range but when we have to add 1,2bb - would you just flat or 3-bet?
2nd - OTF when we have a GS + two overs, would you call once?
3rd - how much should I have bet OTR? Because I know I should have:D

1. I prefer 3b. You have blockers.
2. I may xr flop.
3. 35%.

Preflop: It is up to you really what you prefer. Playing OOP postflop with this hand is hard, so you have to be careful if the pot gets big because of domination.

Flop: You aren't folding. Then it depends on your ranges. If you have QT(s), T8s and 87s here, then check-raising with KQ is maybe overdoing it if you build bluff ranges from below.

River: Small bet. You can also throw in a slightly bigger than pot bet because it looks very much like a bluff to some. If you get called just 33% of the times you would have gotten called for a 1/3 pot bet, then it is more profitable. But this is more of exploitation versus known players.

I like 3betting more but calling is not bad. OTR I would bet small ( around 1/3 pot ).

1. I like defending wider on BB. This is quite the exception here
2. For sure
3. 30-40%

When ever I consider a 3bet I always look up for stats Fold vs 3bet. With this kind of hand I would rather see him folding my 3bet alot of the time, meaning if he has more then 80% Ft3bet I would consider a 3bet. KQ is not a hand that I prefer to play in an inflated pot out of position, while you can easily play another 1,2BB and see the flop and play it from there. Besides I would almost always just call from BB, and consider a 3bet from SB.

Flop - call, would consider CR if I had a backdoor FD
