Hi,

Pre standard open. I have 50 hands on villain only, he is 27/21 so far. So he seems to be a looser reg. Vs an MP 3bet I decided to flat because these arent the right positions to go for broke. I expect his range to be tighter, but QQ should be good. 4bet would isolate me.

On this flop I plan to x/c twice. I believe people are not capable of barreling their whole stack as a bluff on NL2 often enough. When he checked OTF I thought I was ok. I think he would have bet any over pair. This looks like a hand with some showdown value such as AK/AQ.

OTT since I put him on a weak range on the flop, it makes sense to me to remain passive. I dont want him to fold his potential bluffs. My range must seem quite weak to him as well so I expected he could start bluffing. His small bet is either a try to take the checked pot down or a slowplayed monster such as TT. No need to raise.

OTR nothing changes. I was ready to call even a larger bet.

Seems ok. You can stab on turn after his check on flop.

Your arguments are reasonable, but, on NL2, your opponents aren‘t. So on NL2, i try to get all-in preflop with QQ. You wouldn‘t believe what hands i have to see after a preflop push. In most cases, position awareness of your opponents is not very high, so even UTG vs. MP QQ is good enough. I would need special reads to call QQ.

As played, you have value for 2 streets at least. x/c otf is ok, because your opponent has initiative.

After his check, i would bet ott. There are draws that will call your bet, and you want them to pay for completion. So you should lead with 2/3 pot. After your check and his bet, you can calldown.
