How bad i played this hand? Standard c-bet on the flop. On the turn i have no idea why i got cold feet, i thought that SB might be chasing straight and now he/she made it... But then again, villain checked it to me so i should probably just 2nd barrel here?? Well river is obviously fold.

Let's start pre-flop. It's an obvious 3 bet for value here. Your 3-bet sizing is not bad, but I would just make it 3x so raise to 90 cents there instead of 70 cents. At higer limits, people are going to 4 bet or fold OOP most of the times. Don't let them see 3 bet pots and flops too cheaply. Clearly, if he jams, it's an easy call.

The flop is almost perfect for you. Bet for value like you did. I like the sizing on the flop too. He calls, which he definitly might do with worse hands. He definitely has J's in his range, but also pocket pairs (some of them made a set, but we expect him to just flat the flop bet here as it is rainbow and no huge draws) and straight draws.

On the turn however, he checks again. I think you should just bet here and fold to aggression. There is really not much worse hands he would raise you with on the turn on that board. It's going to be a set or a straight very very often. I would just bet again for value on the turn and if he calls again, you can still decide to check behind on the river if he checks to you again. If he bets into you, I would lean towards folding more often...

Especially with that 2nd queen coming on the river, I would go to showdown.

I can't find there any reason to fire 2nd barrel. Hero is imo WA/WB, and we can't get called by worse. Because of our small 3-bet villain may have QJ in his range, and all set's aswell. Lower pocketpairs are going to fold into turn barrel and AJ, probably too. Another option is to bet small on turn like 1.0d. If we assume that villain isn't going to bluffraise uss very much.

I would ch/b turn and bet river for value if checked, but fold to a bet.

Hello,

I would start with 3betting bigger preflop - at least 3x.

On the flop I like your bet.

Turn should still be a value bet here.

As played, I would call river.

Best,
Plamen

Interesting to see that you also think that we have to value bet the turn. What is your plan for the turn and river then?

Would it look like: bet turn and check behind if checked to us, but fold when they donk into us, since it is unlikely that he would do it with much worse than our hand?
