Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 390 BB (VPIP: 33.33, PFR: 23.39, 3Bet Preflop: 3.23, Hands: 176)
BTN: 100 BB (VPIP: 26.03, PFR: 19.18, 3Bet Preflop: 10.61, Hands: 148)
SB: 146.76 BB (VPIP: 23.11, PFR: 15.57, 3Bet Preflop: 0.64, Hands: 424)
Hero (BB): 38.36 BB
UTG: 100 BB (VPIP: 19.51, PFR: 18.29, 3Bet Preflop: 20.69, Hands: 84)
MP: 321.6 BB (VPIP: 23.53, PFR: 17.65, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 37)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q♦ 6♦

fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 2 BB, fold, Hero calls 1 BB

Flop: (4.5 BB, 2 players) 7♠ A♥ A♦
Hero checks, BTN bets 2.86 BB, Hero calls 2.86 BB

Turn: (10.22 BB, 2 players) 6♠
Hero checks, BTN bets 6.5 BB, Hero calls 6.5 BB

River: (23.22 BB, 2 players) 5♣
Hero checks, BTN checks

Spoiler

Hero shows Q♦ 6♦ (Two Pair, Aces and Sixes) (Pre 70%, Flop 19%, Turn 8%)
BTN shows 6♥ 7♣ (Two Pair, Aces and Sevens) (Pre 30%, Flop 81%, Turn 92%)
BTN wins 22.18 BB

BTN 26/19 148 hands BTN 2/11 18%!
I was expecting based on VPIP and PFR for him to open BTN close to 50% if not more so I decided to flat Q6s OOP.

Flop is super dry AA7.
I feel opponent will c bet everything but Ax here because he has no way to extract the value with it readless.
So I am expecting low pps, 7x, Kx for bluf, Qx,Jx,10x , basically more combos for bluff then for value.
Value really consists of 7x, mid pps and perhaps low pps if he has idea how to play them on later streets.

I decided to call flop, float with bdfd and over card that may be good if I do hit it.
Turn is 6, and I decide to bluff catch vs his double barell bluffs (Kx,Qx and him turning low pps into a bluff)
River is blank so standard c/call was idea behind it.

Questions:

- Was this correct thinking process in vacuum?
- How would you have played the hand?
- Is c/raise an option here in vacuum? What do you do with mid pps here, would you consider check raising them? Basically what range are you c/raising, what are you folding and what are you just calling down.
- How do things change for 100bb vs 40-50bb stacks?

Really appreciate all your feedback!

Hey,

So although it's true we have some backdoor potential, we have various stronger hands in our range that also have similar backdoor potentially. So theoretically at least this hand is too wide to be in our flop x/c range and should technically be a x/f. We also have to keep in mind that it will generally be less profitable to float wide when the stacks are shallower since we will have less opportunities to make moves on later streets.

X/r is an option in a vacuum but is theoretically incorrect. We should be defending on this board by either x/f or x/c unless we have an exploitative reason for x/r.

With 100bb effective we can get away with floating a bit wider, but our holding is generally too weak to float OOP even 100bb stacks.

Turn is awkward, but likely a x/f. This might be more of a flop issue than a turn issue however. If we'd floated the flop OOP with something like KTs and spiked a T it would be a much easier call on the turn.
