Hi all. Not a question about my play, I think it's probably fine (I like to put it all in on the turn here hoping for suckers) but about villain calling my squeeze with KJ suited OOP.

Is that a good call from him? Can you call in that spot that kind of a squeeze profitably?
I really do not know.

CO: 48 BB (VPIP: 21.23, PFR: 12.29, 3Bet Preflop: 3.80, Hands: 183)
Hero (BTN): 109 BB
SB: 144.5 BB (VPIP: 43.02, PFR: 5.81, 3Bet Preflop: 10.00, Hands: 91)
BB: 100 BB (VPIP: 21.30, PFR: 17.13, 3Bet Preflop: 2.04, Hands: 222)
UTG: 103.5 BB (VPIP: 17.12, PFR: 10.81, 3Bet Preflop: 1.39, Hands: 224)
MP: 108.5 BB (VPIP: 29.41, PFR: 13.73, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 52)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

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

fold, MP raises to 3 BB, CO calls 3 BB, Hero raises to 12 BB, fold, fold, MP calls 9 BB, CO calls 9 BB

Flop: (37.5 BB, 3 players) Q♦ A♦ T♥
MP checks, CO checks, Hero bets 18 BB, MP calls 18 BB, fold

Turn: (73.5 BB, 2 players) 8♠
MP checks, Hero bets 79 BB and is all-in, MP calls 78.5 BB and is all-in

River: (230.5 BB, 2 players) 5♣

Spoiler

MP shows K♣ J♣ (Straight, Ace High)
(Pre 41%, Flop 82%, Turn 91%)
Hero shows Q♥ A♠ (Two Pair, Aces and Queens)
(Pre 59%, Flop 18%, Turn 9%)
MP wins 222.5 BB

Its ok call from him vs unknown, when he knows he is against a good player then its a borderline call, more 4bet case than a flat call

Out of curiosity: with this all in, on the turn, is there any chance of being called by worst hands or making better hands to fold?

I'm asking that because, sometimes, I face some vilans all ins that don't make sense to me. So, I may be missing some piece of info there...

Thanks.

I'm still working on my 3bet-related ranges, but i don't think that a call with KJs is too bad. Pot Odds are 1:2, CO could call, the hand plays good even oop if you can let go an top pair, and when hitting a straight or 2pair, implieds are good. But there might exist some reasons that i don't see yet against a call.

Ott, a caller can have not only the straight or a set, but also a weaker 2pair, on NL2 you will see a lot of flush draws, and i would not be surprised to see even top pair + gutshot.

Think I'd personally be folding this unless I knew co is tagging along which makes it mediocre at best.
Perhaps half pot could be a better line here? I think shipping is fine too but if you think about his calling range, .. But then again this is NL2.

Digressing a bit, I think I'd cbetted bigger OTF, half pot (?) OTT and a small cbet OTR.

I don't see many worst hands calling 3 consecutives streets of value here. Maybe AT.

So most of his range would've folded in some moment between the turn and the river cbet.

Hand is played just fine, cooler. Villiain wider calling range means more value for us.

Looks an OK call imo. As others said, just a cooler.
