.10NL weird spot w QQ
HERO($15.02) is LJ w QcQs
BTN($16.78)
HERO opens to $.20 - i misclicked instead of opening to $.30
BTN raises to $.50
HERO 4b to $2.10
BTN calls $2.10
(pot $4.14)
I think we played this okay. I hate playing vs min raises - so annoying. However, w QQ i think we have to 4b. I went a little over 4x to reduce the odds BTN has to just call. I dont think many players are min raising better hands so was okay w getting money in pre flop.
FLOP: 4c 8h 7c
HERO bets $1.75
BTN calls $1.75
(pot $7.46)
Coordinated boards can be trouble for me to play at times. In particular, picking a bet size to go w. Given how action went pre flop, we arent gonna have any sets on this board as those wouldnt 4b at a high frequency. Feels like our hand is face up as an overpair w the occasional flush draw combos. I bet a little under half pot. I dont mind checking this flop at some frequency as it will hit BTN calling range at a decent rate - 88,77,44, 65s, 9Ts, 87s. I decided to bet this time to protect vs his hands like 99,TT, JJ, AK, AQ, AJ, AT hands. Am interested to see what others think of this spot & how we played it.
TURN: Kd
HERO checks
BTN checks
(pot $7.46)
This turn is awkward for us. Feels too thin to continue betting as now BTN's AK,KQs,KJs have caught up. I think we can reduce at some frequency, any of the aforementioned hands that were ahead on the flop as those should be betting this turn almost always to maximize value.
RIVER: 3h
HERO bets $2.85
BTN calls $2.85 & mucks hand
HERO wins $12.88
I think once it checks through on turn its okay to bet some rivers for thin value in order to get called by BTN's weaker hands - 99,TT, JJ, even A8s, A7s.
This hand was mainly difficult for me on the flop/turn. River seemed like straight forward spot. Any advice/input on this hand is more than welcome & appreciated.
