Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$2/$4 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q:h, Q:d.
2 folds, CO raises, BU folds, SB 3-Bets, Hero caps, CO calls, SB calls.

Flop: (12.00 SB) A:h, Q:s, J:h (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, CO raises, SB folds, Hero 3-Bets, CO caps, Hero calls.

Turn: (10.00 BB) 7:c (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero raises, CO 3-Bets, Hero calls.

River: (16.00 BB) J:s (2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks.

Final Pot: 16.00 BB.

Now preflop and flop is standard i think but im not sure about the turn play is the check/raise overplayed since i showed alot of strenght and he is still capping on the flop maybe bet/call would be better? And river is easy check/raise after turn action i think?
Stats are 23/16/2.3 WTS 50 after only 65 hands

Hi gape0000,

as he will often 3-bet any better hand we need 60%+ equity (just a guess) for a profitable check/raise.

Board: Ah Qs Jh 7c
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 53.209% 53.21% 00.00% 796 0.00 { QdQh }
Hand 1: 46.791% 46.79% 00.00% 700 0.00 { AA, QQ-JJ, AQs-AJs, KhQh, KhJh, KTs, QhTh, JhTh, AQo-AJo, KTo }

That range is already pretty lose so against this range you should only calldown.

However I think a donkbet might be better because many TAGs like to cap the flop to take a freecard and call with a monster instead (I often do so against opponents who don't notice it :P).

Against a rasie after your donkbet it's may be closer (as no draw will raise again).

Board: Ah Qs Jh 7c
Dead:

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 53.209% 53.21% 00.00% 796 0.00 { QdQh }
Hand 1: 46.791% 46.79% 00.00% 700 0.00 { AA, QQ-JJ, AQs-AJs, KTs, AQo-AJo, KTo }

However it's the exact same equity. That is because you hold Q :heart: and with that you block the flushdras (all in the range above aren't possible at all).

Conclusion: The board/your hand are blocking a lot draw possibilities so your his range is pretty strong here. :)

Ok thank you i had a feeling that check/raise was a bit overplayed when i was playing , donk/call line looks pretty good here as u said.

Anyway i hated that he checked behind the nut straight on river and costed me at least 1 Bb but i guess its just bad luck :rolleyes:

Wow who calls 2 bets cold with KTo pf after raising? Not TAGs who have a clue, that's for sure

Removing KTo gives us 70% equity.

Hmm maybe. ;)
But he just has to coldcall 2 out of the 12 KTo combination and then it's not profitable anymore.
Maybe he doesn't raise AJo or AQo (he will bet them all of course).
