QQ OOP in 3bet pot vs strong action

About preflop: some 4bet some call. I personally would just call here.

Villain probably has quite tight range when he 3bets UTG. Mostly suited aces and AQo+, KQs? And ofc QQ+.

That flop is a call.

At NL5 people do all kind of funny stuff. I think it is possible that he barrels with nut flush draws especially if he has 2 overs. Theoretically I believe this would be a call and if river bricks you call this down. You are at the top of your calling range here. But I'm not sure if we should adjust that line here. Does villain barrel with a value heavy range is is he a spew monkey?

You said villain would do this with sets and 76s. I think he should not 3bet us with 66 or 77 pre and JJ is probably just a call too. And he absolutely should not 3bet with 67s.

Would you call or 4bet in this spot? In this hand, I called with the plan on continuing on most boards thatr arent't A or K high. However, the more I think about 4betting, the more I like it. It prevents us having to face tough spots OOP on A or K high boards and other tough decisions (like the one in this hand). Also, facing a 5bet, in NL5 it seems safe to put villain on KK+, AK and find a easy fold.

Hi FearedBeing,
I love your nick!

See the bold in the quote.

Also, if this was me playing (and I am not a hold'em master) then I would most definitely bet the flop.
Checking here might encourage an aggressive player to bet with :Ax::Jx: -- so once checked, the check/raise is also a fine option.

I gave villain a super strong range and on the flop you're still ahead:

Board: 7♠J♣6♣
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    53.68%  52.91%   0.77% { QQ }
BU     46.32%  45.55%   0.77% { JJ+, 77-66, ATs+, AJo+ }

I didn't include straight or flush draws, -- but if that is what he is doing, you are actually a wee bit stronger:

Board: 7♠J♣6♣
       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    56.84%  56.30%   0.54% { QQ }
BU     43.16%  42.61%   0.54% { JJ+, 77-66, ATs+, 9c8c, 5c4c, AJo+, 98o, 54o }

As played, I think it is too late to show any aggression OTT.

Remember the "aggressive" part of "Tight-Aggressive"

I would love to hear what other's have to say about this hand.
I tend to overplay my overpairs, so maybe I'm off the mark here.

Cheers,

Preflop is standard call, no 4-bet, maybe on some higher limits. Flop is call, no need to raise. OTT this is easy call imo, if I'm on btn I'll bet 3/4pot cause we are deep (with AA,KK).
Everything about ranges are written.

I would also call preflop and not 4bet.
Flop is call for me
OTT I would call.
Depending on what card drops, betsizing and maybe timingreads I might call river too

I'm going to assume lot's of things here so assuming villain doesn't 3bet hands like AQs QQ JJ AK in this spot and maybe has a range of like KK+ A2s-A5s and assuming he barrels the flush draws on turn i think this would have to be a clear call down on non spade and club rivers with 36% equity vs that range , that's assuming he bluffs the river with his missed draws.

Let's say he only bluffs river with 50% of his missed draws though we now only have 20% equity and i think most villains at these stakes actually rarely fire the third barrel so calling flop and turn and folding river might actually be a better play. Having said that i dont think calling down on decent run outs would be a big mistake by any means.

Preflop call is IMO better, you are deep.
Flop is definitely call, he can have not only made hands but also some overcards with draw.
