Hi guys,

you can see the hand here.

I 3bet the aces preflop vs MP - thats clear. I made it relativly small, should I bet here maybe 1 or 2 BB more for value?
The Flop allows only backdoors, plus it is paired, so I decided to bet smallish, because the board doesnt allow many combos that can easily call here. The turn brings another pair onto the board, woohoo, fullhouse-party? I really wasn't sure if I should bet the Turn because what can he really defend here? It's sooo dry that other than backdoor flushes that turned some equity he just dont have any bluffs that he can raise here, and if some pocket pairs like 99 call twice?! Maybe yes, maybe he just has a completly polarized range here that either folds or jams. I think, I wouldve called a jam here on the turn. What do you think?

I made some calculations with equilab, stating that I am clearly in front of his range here. I dont know if a x/c strat would be good here, but since there are so few draws and I block AQ I think it wouldve been maybe lower EV than just double barreling and call a turn jam?

Preflop: Hero is BB with :A♥:A♦:
UTG fold, MP raises to $0.07, 3 fold, Hero raise $0.24, MP calls $0.24

Flop: ($0.47) Q♠:7♥:Q♦: (2 players)
Hero bets $0.22, MP calls $0.22

Turn: ($0.90)7♦: (3 players)
Hero bets $0.46, MP fold

Try to post hand like this, it is much easier for the people to evaluate your hand. And try to provide info´s about villain. You still dont use a tracker ?

Preflop : I like your size of the bet, you could 3bet higher if you have reads on him ( like FOLD to 3bet stat ).

Flop Again i like the size, it is a 3bet pot you dont really need to bet big.
I´m not sure how you should play here, maybe somebody with more skill can teach us. I guess that check/calling isn´t bad either.

Cool that you remember me :) no I don't use tracker. I just save my handhistory, so that I one day have big outdated database xD I'm not sure if statistics tool help me much at the moment. I just can say sorry for not converting the hands into this format - I have tried it more than once and more than one converter and didn't come to any results. But since I may want to discuss more hands with you, I should give it another try.

Thanks for the comments on the sizing, mate! I appreciate :f_drink:

Can you share a link to the converter you used?

How can I use the hand converter on flopturnriver.com ?? I copied my hand into the empty space, but it doesnt automatically convert and since there isnt any visible button, I cannot convert my hand. You know, this kind of buggy stuff happens all over the place -.- but I do some research to find more converters now.
weaktight.com says: hand history not supported
upswingpoker.com says "There was a problem converting your hand. Please contact us with any questions."
pokerhand.org does work, but it doesnt give me a forum-compatible code.
handhistoryconverter.com doesn't want me to put in german language handhistory.
handconverter.com doesnt do anything if I click the "convert"-button.

Im done.. this doesnt work, I tried this before, more than a dozen sites. I'll now have a look if I can change the language in my pokerstars client from german to english. This could be a solution.

Hi. Try google search with this 'online convert pokerhand to forum format'
I think that gives a usable result.

About the hand itself.

As AgapieGheorghe suggests:

Check the turn. He must have some higher PP or AK at that point.
When you check he could get fancy and starts betting himself.

I see. I played too obviously with KK-AA or AQ, right?

Thanks a lot for the google search-advice! I'll do that later on, because I have another hand where I'm curious about your opinions. I hope I'll get it to work :) is this a html-Forum? or phpBB?
