Preflop I don't mind the call but prefer 3 betting these hands as you are playing OOP but can still hit strong top pairs but also can represent strength on a lot of runouts.
Flop: I don't really like the raise, you are kind of saying you have a set or two pairs and are letting him decide which hands he wants to come along with and folding out his weaker hands/bluffs. If you really wanted to raise this flop I would prefer a hand like J9, ATs, and with some sets and maybe two pairs.
Turn: when the jack comes it isn't a bad hand for your range and will usually benefit you more than it does him so I quite like the bet on the turn. When he calls I can kind of feel strength off of him and will most likely give up on a lot of rivers and check-call. He has invested so much of his stack that a bluff will very rarely work.
On the river when the blank comes I am definitely calling. You are getting great odds and only need to call with 66% of your hands to prevent him from bluffing you too frequently. KQ is definitely within that range and you even block some his straight hands and his AQ hands.
Slam dunk call on the river - while high fiving everyone around!

Cheers for the response my man! Out of curiosity what hands would you be calling with here that you get to the river with?

Hi, I have created a study group on Discord and I am hoping to really get to know some of my fellow poker players and really improve my game and help others improve on theirs. I currently play 5&10NL but will happily take in anyone who just wants to study from any stakes.
Please join, if you are serious about making a commitment to improving your game, and want to talk to fresh people with similar interests.
Here is the link to the discord channel: https://discord.gg/SEESz
Really hope to see some people on it.
Thanks, Buddha.

I have been playing for a year now (only recently took it seriously) - and although I have pokertracker and feel I have a good grasp of the game, one of the problems I constantly face is how to review my hands.
I have flopzilla, equilab, PT4 so can anyone give me any resources or an idea of the way they do it or how others do?
This would be a great help to me - and yes, I have gone on YouTube numerous times but haven't quite worked it out yet.
Thanks. Buddha

Hello all, so tried a couple of times to take poker seriously but never really got around too it. I have recently came back from a tough time in my life and my perspective on life has changed. Poker is my priority now.
I am starting by grinding micro stakes for a while and studying regularly and was looking for some fellow players - no matter what stake - to have as support and to just have a laugh with and discuss hands. I hate the idea of a study group as it is so serious but I also understand it is a good thing to have.
Playing poker can get lonely so I am looking for anyone who is looking to talk with new people and get better in the process.
Not a study group, more like a mastermind and friendly group :)
If anyone seems interested in this then let me know! I do not want it to have the serious formalities that the groups I've been in in the past have had.
Thanks, Buddha

Preflop is like the sizing and 3 bet - you could even go larger but it is fine as played.
On the flop, you definitely have to c-bet this board as he will most likely never raise you and you have a much stronger range - e.g. KK, AA, AK.
On the turn after he has called If I were to bet I would bet larger hoping to make him fold his 66-99. With this size, he can call with a lot of his hands.
On the river, I probably am just check-folding here. I prefer a bluff with the Ace of diamonds and as we don't even hold a diamond he could definitely have a flush. He could also have a hand like KJ, JJ which he is never folding.
