PokerStars - $0.25 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: $25.00
SB: $30.74
BB: $27.20
UTG: $85.67
Hero (MP): $30.97
CO: $37.96

SB posts SB $0.10, BB posts BB $0.25

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.35) Hero has Q♣ A♣

UTG raises to $0.75, Hero calls $0.75, CO calls $0.75, fold, fold, fold

Flop: ($2.60, 3 players) 7♠ Q♥ 5♦
UTG bets $1.50, Hero calls $1.50, CO calls $1.50

Turn: ($7.10, 3 players) 5♣
UTG checks, Hero bets $3.70, CO calls $3.70, UTG calls $3.70

River: ($18.20, 3 players) 9♣
UTG checks, Hero bets $8.80, fold, UTG calls $8.80

Villain UTG:
VPIP/PFR = 21/17 (24 hands)

Villain CO
VPIP/PFR/3bet = 25/18/5 (152 hands, 4tabling reg)

I thought I have two bets 4 value here when UTG checks OTT. But I wondered how to play my range, which looks sth like this MPvsUTG: 66-QQ, AQo+, AJs+, 89s+. So here are some Questions.

1. Do you call anything like JJ or AhJh OTF? Im pretty unsure cause villains are quite unknown and pot is 3handed, but the Flop is also very dry?

2. As played if UTG checks Turn, do you bet all of Qx? I only have KQs, QJs, AQ. My range is very narrow if I bet, so maybe ch/c most of my range is better?

3. What do you think of my betsize? Maybe we can bet even smaller, to have all Qx in my betting range?

after the flop action, utg actually shouldn't stick around with too many worse hands if he's any decent, and don't forget that co still is in the hand.

i mean, how can they realistically expect to have a profitable turn c/c with JJ?
so with your turn+river bets your target is Qx, i guess AQ is the worse hand you can valuebet.

Tight utgs will often potcontrol AA and KK. After u get called by both players on the turn i dont see jow u can valuebet river again. In COs shoes i would never call KQ vs the river bet

I think you are absolutely right! UTG had KK and CO tank folded OTR. So I guess he had sth like KQ. Thanks both of you!

You're welcome.

Well the results certainly make sense. Note that UTG's play to c/c the Turn is way too weak with KK - He should have plenty of value with a Turn bet from QX as long as you guys are not too tight and fold KQ vs 2 bets.

This is what both of their flop calling ranges might look like. You have ~79% equity edge
Board: 7hQs5c5d
Equity Win Tie
MP2 21.14% 21.14% 0.00% { 77, 55, AQs, KQs, QTs+, 98s, 86s, AQo }
MP3 78.86% 78.86% 0.00% { KK }

Here are hands which may call a 2nd barrel
Board: 7hQs5c5d
Equity Win Tie
MP2 28.01% 28.01% 0.00% { 77, 55, AQs, KQs, 86s, AQo }
MP3 71.99% 71.99% 0.00% { KK }

I guess it's hard for KK to go for 3 streets, maybe 2.5 streets is good (0.5 meaning you bet small on the River)
