PokerStars - $0.25 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players

Hero (BTN): 100 BB
SB: 100 BB
BB: 169.68 BB
UTG: 94.6 BB
MP: 40.96 BB
CO: 129.48 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has 7♥ 9♥

fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 2 BB, SB raises to 11 BB, fold, Hero calls 9 BB

Flop: (23 BB, 2 players) K♥ 2♣ T♥
SB bets 16.48 BB, Hero calls 16.48 BB

Turn: (55.96 BB, 2 players) Q♥
SB bets 13.36 BB, Hero calls 13.36 BB

River: (82.68 BB, 2 players) 8♥
SB bets 26.04 BB, fold

SB wins 78.96 BB

Not sure what to do on the turn here. And not even sure if I should've called the river. Any suggestions? I feel like raising the turn will just filter all hands out, except for maybe a straight.

Any info on villain would be nice, but the call pre-flop on the huge 3bet is already marginal I think. As played I would most likely shove the turn for value. You have less than a potsize bet behind. River is nasty. I expect you have most of the time the 2nd best hand, but you get interesting odds to call.

I would be interested in seeing what you have in mind for SB's range, and how it stacks up in Equilab

I'm thinking that such a large 3Bet indicates overpair.
If so, he only has 1 heart.

As such, I agree with the turn shove,
You'll only lose here if he has the A♥: or J♥:

Unless he folds -- seems unlikely though...

Bizarre hand? Post it in Hand of the Day!!
