PokerStars, Hold'em No Limit - $0.02/$0.05 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $3.93 (79 bb)
MP: $5.07 (101 bb)
CO: $6.34 (127 bb)
BU: $5.11 (102 bb)
SB (Hero): $5.00 (100 bb)
BB: $7.90 (158 bb) - rather tight

Pre-Flop: ($0.07) Hero is SB with Q Q
3 players fold, BTN raises to $0.12, Hero 3-bets to $0.45, BB 4-bets to $1.20, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.75

I decide to call the open 4bet by tight BB. Does this make sense to you oop? I just didn't see him call a push with any weak hand (perhaps AK).

Flop: ($2.52) Q K T (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $1.05, Hero calls $1.05

Tricky flop. With his range (presumably AQs+/JJ+/possibly KQs) he will likely have hit something but I'm ahead most of the time plus I have 7 outs against the straight. I want to go all-in and since the pot is already big I check/call flop and turn.

Turn: ($4.62) A (2 players)
Hero checks, BB checks

Urgh. Still, I see myself a little ahead against his range with 10 outs to improve against a straight - looking at the potsize a definite all in. ...follow the plan.

River: ($4.62) 8 (2 players)
Hero bets $2.75 (all-in), BB calls $2.75

Don't see him bet/bluff any weaker hand at this point, so I push. There are enough two-pairs in his range that he can still call.

What do you think about
- preflop line
- postflop line check/call
- my thoughts on the river?

Thanks!

You said he is rather tight. So, do you think he have light cold 4-bet range?

No, I don't. But it's a steal situation so I give him more than just KK+. QQ fold seemed to weak to me.

Because that, i consider jam preflop on this spot.

Just get it in pre and get coolered.

If he is bluffing preflop hes likely got hands like Axs, AJo, KQo - which have significant equity, and positional advantage. Folding out the equity and negating the positional advantage is a strong incentive to jam.

River is thin as the only 2 pair combos are KQ (3) and AK (4) - other combos would play flop differently. But he definitely can have KK (3), AA (3), and AJo (9). Seems to thin to me.
