Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Hand afspelen

$0.02/$0.05 No-Limit Hold'em (5 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BB$9.04:///////;MP3$12.68:///////;CO$8.26:///////;BU (Hero)$6.24:///////;SB$5.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BU with Q:d, A:s.
MP3 folds, CO raises to $0.20, Hero raises to $0.60, SB folds, BB calls $0.55, CO calls $0.40.

Flop: ($1.82) 2:d, 3:s, Q:s (3 players)
BB checks, CO checks, Hero bets $1.30, BB calls $1.30, CO folds.

Turn: ($4.42) 6:s (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

River: ($4.42) Q:c (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $2.00, BB folds, Hero gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: $4.42.

What do I do on the turn? The straight and the flush gets there. I hate to get raised so I went for bluff induce (his aggr factor was 12.0) + I can make the nut flush. I also thought about check-raising, but I think I only get it in against a flush.

edit: the above doesn't make sense since I'm in position. I just want to know the best turnplay

Check/raising? :f_eek: You can try. Don't forget to post the hand if you manage to check/raise someone IP

Check behind turn call river sounds like the best line for me as well.

I usually quit the session once I start check/raising IP: I must be either drunk or asleep.

On the turn I like your play because:

stronger doesn't fold
weaker doesn't call (well, maybe Ks, but he might fold easily as well)
there are no draws to protect our hand from (just a few gutshots)
by checking behind we might induce a bet from weaker queens or whatever called the flop

River value bet is also good: weaker queens can call.

Hello,

What's the reason for 3betting preflop here?

As played, betting the flop is fine.

I actually prefer betting the turn again and planning to check back the river. We can take value from worse and we won't have to face a river bet.

On the river your bet is fine.

Best,
Plamen

Plamen, would you flat call preflop against an unknown? We 3-bet here only if we feel like we are far ahead his steal range, yup?

Is check behind turn call river good if we were up against an aggressive guy who loves bluffing? Alternatively, a fit/fold guy who won't call with a spade or a weaker queen here.

I 3bet because it's a CO open whos range is wide enough. Against a UTG I'd just flat. Also the bb was pretty aggressive and I don't want him to squeeze. I used to flat here, but I want to 3bet more in position. I think I don't 3bet enough.

I would prefer to flat with AQ suited which plays better postflop. What do you think about that?

I prefer flatting here without information.
CO's range could be wide enough, but then we have to think he's going to call with worse hands OOP.

@Th334

If we were against an aggressive guy I don't mind checking back the turn.
Against a fit or fold guy, I'm more like betting since he's most likely to call us with a Q here.
