Hello

my first hand evaluation.

I play NL16 but i'm not silver so i have to post it here.

Poker Stars, $0.08/$0.16 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 8 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

MP2: $22.58 (141.1 bb)
MP3: $6.66 (41.6 bb)
CO: $6.37 (39.8 bb)
BTN: $16.22 (101.4 bb)
Hero (SB): $23.92 (149.5 bb)
BB: $15.68 (98 bb)
UTG+2: $15.24 (95.3 bb)
MP1: $17.56 (109.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q J
3 folds, MP3 raises to $0.32, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.24, BB calls $0.16

Flop: ($0.96) J J Q (3 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, MP3 bets $0.80, Hero calls $0.80, BB folds

Turn: ($2.56) 8 (2 players)
Hero bets $2.08, MP3 folds

Results:

Spoiler

$2.56 pot ($0.12 rake)
Final Board: J J Q 8
MP3 mucked and lost (-$1.12 net)
Hero mucked Q J and won $2.44 ($1.32 net)

This must be the stupidest play i've done,

I am out of position

First of all i check because this monster will scare away everyone since
i'm not the aggressor. (comments?)

Villain bets 0.80, i read this as a scared bet, so i call. (should i have raised?)

His VPIP is 45 and PFR is 24 after 29 hands.

My large donk bet was supposed to look like a bluff, and considering his
small stack i thought he would go all in.

Tell me what i did wrong and why, i seem to win more on marginal hands than
monsters. Except three of a kinds.

Thanks in advance, sorry if this is a messy post, next will be better.

Hi Festfingre,

Welcome to the hand evaluation forums.

Prelop: looks fine vs a min raise from a midstack

Postflop: flop looks fine with another guy behind us. We want to keep him in the pot.

On the turn we should let him bet. If he has a hand to go broke with he will anyway so we want to maximize value versus the range that doesn't go broke with us (or puts in a lot of money).

The idea is that if he is bluffing your bet may look scary. I doubt that a pot size bet (almost) on such board can be interpreted as weak/bluff, even by a fish.

i was afraid he would check until showdown.

If he had checked the turn, would you bet on the river or check again?

Edit: Thank you for swift response by the way

Edit2: if there wasn't a guy behind me, should i have raised his bet?
