Hello,

I want to know how you would have handled this situation. I did not feel pretty comfortable during this hand. I do not have any information on villain.

Do you 4bet in some of these scenarios where you don't have a lot of information on villain? What would you have done on the flop after his small cbet? I had a nasty feeling that on these type of boards I can get trapped quite easily.

Just check river and take the showdown value imo.

If I know something about villain I might 4Bet pre.
UTG is supposed to be a strong range.

As played I definitely call the flop, 2s generally aren't in a UTG range, but Queens definitely are.

I actually like the river bet -- but you have to be prepared to fold it if BTN shoves.
It is unlikely he would though since the come runner-runner

Against a unknown I'm not willing to stack off AKo. If you would 4bet you need to go for it if villain shoves. That would be a reason for me to just call and keep the pot small out of position. Flop call is fine on the nice odds you get. River I would just check. If I would bet for value or bluff I think a half pot bet is big enough.

Cheers,
