Hold'em No Limit - $0.05/$0.10 - 6 players

UTG: $12.15 (122 bb)
MP (Hero): $10.25 (103 bb)
CO: $11.75 (118 bb)
BU: $12.63 (126 bb)
SB: $23.76 (238 bb)
BB: $10.59 (106 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.15) Hero is MP with Q♦ Q♣
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.30, CO calls $0.30, 2 players fold, BB calls $0.20

Flop: ($0.95) 9♣ 8♣ 5♣ (3 players)
BB bets $0.95, Hero calls $0.95, CO folds

Turn: ($2.85) J♠ (2 players)
BB bets $2.85, Hero calls $2.85

River: ($8.55) 3♦ (2 players)
BB bets $6.49 (all-in), MP (Hero) folds

Flop: With QQ I already feel uncomfortable here against his donk-bet plus there is another player after me.
BB of course has many flushes, straights and two-pairs in his hand range.

Turn: Now I only play against BB but what overplay is he doing here? He can still have his flushes, straights and two-pairs and J9o/J9s comes in.

River: For me a clear fold on the blank card.

Villains bet sizing is weird as well. Betting pot size on flop and turn.

Read less I would fold the turn for sure with only a bluff catcher and a flush draw. With in mind you could be drawing to the 2nd best hand.

your line is fine, I think your hand is way too strong to fold Turn.

River: Your hand is pure bluff catcher at this point, should be a good fold

He could call preflop Axs, 88, 99 and bet flop, turn, river ... maybe QTs too, JTs.
If he had Axc why he pot bet flop, turn? For 99, 88 I could image it, but not for Axc.
So with QQ like one pair fold on the river is not bad.

I think we can fold turn, we have reversed implieds - but then again sometimes he'll be bluffing and then river will go x/x some % of the time (and sometimes we hit and call him down) so all in all it seems fine. It depends on the player - readless it's a call.

For river - in my experience once recreationals start bluffing, they continue a very high % of the time. He's obviously aware he's repping 67 or a flush / set - so i don't think calling is that bad (but no experience in pop. tendencies on nl10). I think being good 40% of the time isn't that crazy. Readless i'd call, because these sizings do indicate a more aggro opponent.

My point is that here there are 2 types of players, nitty guys that will always have it & aggro spewy guys that will not give up once they start bluffing (with these sizings). There's more nits/ passive in the playerpool, but the other guys def. exist. So have 2 strategies depending playertype.
