Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG: 209 BB (VPIP: 28.00, PFR: 12.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 25)
UTG+1: 232.5 BB (VPIP: 33.33, PFR: 13.33, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 15)
MP: 133.5 BB (VPIP: 28.00, PFR: 8.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 25)
MP+1: 95.5 BB (VPIP: 24.00, PFR: 12.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 25)
CO: 41.5 BB (VPIP: 9.09, PFR: 9.09, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 12)
BTN: 253.5 BB (VPIP: 12.00, PFR: 8.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 25)
SB: 127 BB (VPIP: 12.50, PFR: 12.50, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 25)
Hero (BB): 134.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q♣ Q♥

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 3 BB, SB raises to 8 BB, Hero calls 7 BB, fold

Preflop I think that I am ahead BU and SB's ranges, in these situations I usually follow two different lines.
One is to 4bet and , if I receive a 5 bet, depending on the villian's stats decide to go broke or not.
The other is just to call, take advantage that I will play in position postflop and try to extract more of money from my opponents postflop.
This time I decideD just to call because I had a small sample and also because I thought that I could extract more value postflop.
What would you do in this situation?

Flop: (19 BB, 2 players) 3♥ 7♥ J♠
SB bets 9 BB, Hero calls 9 BB

On the flop the villian bets first so, I have to possible lines:
One is to 3 bet,if the villains 4 bets or shoves its going to be a tough one. I think his range would be kk+, jj, aj, kj or any draw for a very aggresive opponent, perhaps kk+, jj for a tight one.
The other line is just to call, arguing way ahead / way behind and trying to get to a cheap showdown.
I decide just to call because I do not have considerable information about the villian.

What would you do in this situation?

Turn: (37 BB, 2 players) 6♦
SB bets 17 BB, Hero calls 17 BB

The turn card does not change anything, I follow the same line and call.
What would you do in this situation?

River: (71 BB, 2 players) 5♥
SB checks, Hero checks

On the river I decided just call, perhaps we can get some value from weaker hands but I did not want to induce or give the villian the opportunity to bluff and put myself on a tough decision. Just call and follow the initial line.
What would you do in this situation?

Hi erne81

I must say, great first post !!!

Preflop: Given we are about 125 BB deep and play FR (where people are a bit tighter) calling to keep his range wider (keep bluffs in) is fine.

Postflop: When you would raise villain on the flop it would be considered a 2-bet and not a 3-bet (just in case you look for stats for these numbers). It's also called a raise cbet.

I think that given the board and what we know so far you playd the hand fine. It's hard to justify raising flop or turn and on the river villain can still ck/call AA/KK so we don't have a value bet.

As a side note, when you leave a reply (and would like a judge to revisit the hand), don't forget to hit the advise judge to take another look button.
