BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($0.33) 3 (2 players)
BB bets $0.21, Hero calls $0.21

nearly folded turn started wondering what I was beating, then thought about possibility of my hand being good if I hit a Q, J or A and I called , what do you think about the hand?

In a 3Bet pot, I get edgy if the pre-flop aggressor doesn't CBet, so I like the check behind
I like calling the turn bet though, because if BB did whiff the flop entirely your hand might be good

I like the river check behind just because there is so little known here you don't want to get splashy with 2nd pair.

So I say, "Well played"

Now let's see how wrong I was :coolface:

Any info on the villain in this hand would be nice. Overall I would play the same against a unknown. Middle pair could be good on the turn and you have a draw as backup.

So it goes another hand in the "well played and still lost" category

Ya pretty much. I was wondering though if folding turn is better than calling. What he would bet on the turn would be like a Qx and better, his Qx are like AQ,KQ,QQ , I’m not sure if he bets QJ or QT and if he was betting his Jx , we are losing to KJ,JT and JJ(1combo I know)
