Hi Nipbourne,
I've seen you have posted many hands here, but only with the hand and stats. If you would post more of your own thoughts with them it would develop you a lot more as a player IMO. Now we can't see what's your thought process behind the decisions. You should tell us:
Pre-flop: why you opened or 3-bet or so
Flop: your thoughts about your moves
Turn and river: the same
To the actual hand:
I'd rather bet the river myself to maximize my value versus some overcards that binked a pair and Tx. 9x is likely to raise us anyway, but we lose value versus everything else.
E: Copied this from the "how to use hand evaluation forum":
When you post your hand for evaluation, here is a couple hints that you should try to keep in mind.
Describe the issue, don't just post your hand history. It is much easier for our judges to evaluate your hand if you ask questions about the hand.
Describe your thought process. This will help our judges find leaks in your thought process as well, and it makes you think about the hand yourself even more as well.
If you have more questions, just ask them! If your hand gets evaluated and you're still unsure, do not hesitate to ask. Our judges will be more than happy to discuss the hand further with you.
Hi
Preflop: This could be a 3-bet.
1. You are in the SB, and it may be a good idea to have close to a 0% calling range in the SB. Since you are not closing the action and you have BB left to act behind you, who can either squeeze or call, both situations being extremely bad for you
2. He seems loose. Maybe if you think he's opening like 20%+ from UTG you should have a thin value 3-bet here.
If I were in the BB, I would usually call here readless vs UTG.
Flop: I don't think betting here is a good idea. Remember that your default play should always be to check to the Preflop Raiser. You have not provided any good reason as to why you should be leading here (do you expect him to fold a lot to donkbets so you lead your air? do you expect him to call with worse often if you bet but expect him to check behind if you check?)
As played the Turn and River are bets. I don't think it's a good idea to check/raise the River. The Rivered Jack scares his TX holdings and those hands should check back River most of the time.
A check/raise is good if you expect him to bet a lot when checked to.
Example: You have JJ on a AJ35A, and you bet Flop and Turn, expecting him to have an Ace a lot. Maybe he just bets his trips on the River, then you can check/jam.
