BB: $23.92

UTG+1: $22.65
Hero (MP1): $15.04
MP2: $33.31
CO: $18.60
BTN: $18.08
SB: $16.08

Pre Flop: ($0.24) Hero is MP1 with A :heart: A :diamond:
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.48, 2 folds, BTN calls $0.48, 1 fold, BB calls $0.32

Flop: ($1.52) 2 :spade: J :heart: Q :heart: (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, BTN bets $1.44, BB folds, Hero raises to $3.20, BTN raises to $4.96, Hero folds

Is this play considered to be too cautious ? BTN is a tag (18/15) and he has a 97% cbet percentage (i know this is not a cbet, but it reveals that he likes to steal a lot on the flop). This hand came at the end of a losing session so my decision might have been affected by this.

Hey S,

The best play here in 90% of cases is to cbet for value and go from there. Check/raising is usually overplaying and probably should not be done without very specific dynamic and information on the player. Check/call is also an OK option.

Bet >>>>> check/call > check/raise.
