MP flatting a 3bet vs SB, overplaying a mid strength hand

Completely standard until the turn.
On the turn you're a little hard on you : I wouldn't say it's a mistake, it's just one of the numerous options you have here and I don't know which one is best.
I quite like that minraise though. Don't be too result oriented. When he folds here, you probably wouldn't have taken him more chips by calling.

Can I ask you what range do you open from MP?
Do you open suited connectors like 78s, 89s, 9Ts and above? If yes, I think it is very profitable to add some of the best ones to your calling to 3bet range when you are IP (example: QJs, TJs, 9Ts).

My range is close to this if CO and BTN are not 3betting very light:
AA-66,AKo-ATo,KQo-KJo,QJo,AKs-A2s,KQs-KTs,QJs-QTs,JTs-J9s,T9s-T8s,98s-97s,87s-86s,76s,65s,54s

I have flatted with some portion of T9s-QJs, but in general I call with those if 3-bettor is loose and/or effective stacks are deeper.

Thanks! I'll keep it in mind, if maybe I need to widen my 3bet calling range

I think you could widen your 3bet calling range too but it's not mandatory at NL10.
That being said I'm more surprised by some of your MP opening choices : I clearly prefer adding 22-55 (and eventually K9s-K8s and Q9s) before QJo or 45s

Oh yeh, I missed something:
It's more like this after 978 opened hands (from HEM) in MP:
AA-55,AKo-ATo,KQo-KJo,QJo,AKs-A2s,KQs-K9s,QJs-Q9s,JTs-J9s,T9s,98s,87s,76s (~18%)

and 54s and 65s is only 6 hands combined (so 0,6 %)
I strongly disagree with opening 22-44. Those hands lose money in long term from UTG (also 55-66 might be a fold) and MP.

I actually prefer KJo over K9s and K8s, because many opponents defend their blinds with K9s-K6s, fe.

Opening 22-44 isn't good UTG at higher stakes (and even there it's quite playable at MP but it's close) but at micros it totally is.
You have to realise that what makes small pockets unplayable later on is mainly the fact that opponents are 3betting you a lot which keeps you from realising your equity (and then the fact that people are good enough not to call you too wide when you hit your set which lessen your implied odds).

As micros population doesn't 3bet pre quite as much as they should to manage this, you'll do fine with small PP, in addition to the fact that people will stack off too easily when you hit your set.

In games where 22-44 aren't playable, people are certainly not opening with QJo instead lol, and probably not with 56s !

I didn't oppose KJo to K9s, I think both are playable.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll have something to think about, evaluate.
