Results: 3.2 BB pot (0.1 BB rake) Final Board: Q Q J T 6 BB showed 8 3 and lost (-1.5 BB net) Hero mucked A T and won 3.1 BB (1.6 BB net)

Was this flop call correct? Its been bugging me since I played the hand, ok from the dreaded results oriented view point then yeah.

I gave myself 7 outs max (assuming he had a J and not trip Q's).

I was getting almost the correct odds at 5.4:1

I didnt value bet the T when he checked it down as I've known this character to get tricky (also [for honesty] in my mind I hadn't made my hand).

Thinking about it, I think I should have just raised him and got it in, if possible, then let it ride.

Hi!

On this flop vs a guy who has 1,5BB left after his donk one thing is certain...Im not folding,appart from that you cant really do much wrong but I also like flop call.If he has just whatever you dont mind him bluffing it off and if he has something connected to the board you block many outs with your A and T. And if behind you are drawing very live. You can then put him in on the turn or just calldown so he busts himself.

This turn is interesting and I actually like this check back basically for value.He very rarelly has Qx or even Jx here so you should be ahead pretty much always.On the other hand he has a lot of air which you dont want him to fold so checking to induce a bluff on the river(or case that he hits some pair and then not fold river) is my preffered line too.

Once he checks river you have to value bet.You valuebet against Tx,6x,Ax,pockets all hand which are highly likely gonna call you and since he is bad and supershort he might do it even wider.
