PokerStars Zoom, Hold'em No Limit - $0.02/$0.05 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $5.05 (101 bb)
MP (Hero): $5.66 (113 bb)
CO: $5.48 (110 bb)
BU: $7.81 (156 bb)
SB: $4.05 (81 bb)
BB: $12.34 (247 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.07) Hero is MP with A Q
UTG raises to $0.12, Hero 3-bets to $0.45, 4 players fold, UTG calls $0.33

Flop: ($0.97) 4 Q K (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($0.97) 6 (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $0.75, UTG folds

Total pot: $0.97 (Rake: $0.04)
MP (Hero) wins $0.93


This is another HJ vs UTG spot, but this time I have a piece on the flop.
I 3bet/fold AQo from HJ vs UTG open.
UTG just calls, I assume his range is like: QQ-88,AQs-AJs,KQs,AKo


Board: 4♣Q♣K♥
Equity Win Tie
MP2 30.49% 27.83% 2.66% { QQ-88, AQs-AJs, KQs, AKo }
MP3 69.51% 66.84% 2.66% { AcQs }



With my hand, I have 70% equity against the villain's calling range.

Should I give him no space to pick something up and c-bet bigger?
I thought that I would not get much from a worse hand and I can only bet into the better hand.

In retrospect, I think my turn bet is unnecessarily too big. half pot or less could be fine, too.

this depends on your future gameplan.

this is a flop, where you are the favorite. so a range bet w a low sizing would make sense.

if you dont range bet here, use a higher sizing. then AQ is probably a check. OTT you prolly want to check back again and go for call or small bet OTR. you will not get 2 streets of value anyway.

so the two most promising lines are bet, bet, check or check, check, call (or bet) depending on your c-bet approach.

oh and to evaluate, wether you have a value bet or not, you have to equilate villains continuing range. not his range, he arrives with.

I would bet the turn a little bit smaller. If you bet 50c you get most of the time the same result as now.

Preflop is OK, oponent range too. On the flop he could have KQs, AKo, avter his check - check is OK, on the turn after his second check bet 35% could be enough.
If he call with pairs like TT, 99 he check OOP, af he had AQs, KQs, AKo he will be betting on turn I gues.
