$11r, QJs, line check

OR is costarician, playing 16/14 (50 hands)
Overcaller is 20/6.

I`m 25/21/8 , was moderately active.

PartyGaming - $10+$1|400/800 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

BTN: 31,671.00
SB: 22,398.00
Hero (BB): 47,273.00
UTG: 52,403.00
UTG+1: 20,515.00
MP: 11,609.00
MP+1: 26,218.00
LP: 34,818.00
CO: 46,476.00

BTN posts ante 80.00, SB posts ante 80.00, Hero posts ante 80.00, UTG posts ante 80.00, UTG+1 posts ante 80.00, MP posts ante 80.00, MP+1 posts ante 80.00, LP posts ante 80.00, CO posts ante 80.00, SB posts SB 400.00, Hero posts BB 800.00

Pre Flop: (1920.00) Hero has J Q

Flop: (5920.00, 3 players) K 9 T
Hero checks, UTG bets 2,706.00, fold, Hero calls 2,706.00

Turn: (11332.00, 2 players) K
Hero checks, UTG bets 6,005.00, Hero raises to 14,444.00, UTG calls 8,439.00

River: (40220.00, 2 players) 5
Hero bets 11,111.00 (leaving 17k eff behind)

Villain was a bit spazzy and suspicious post-flop and overcaller was a fish, so I elected not to lead flop to keep his range wider and let him barrel turn and c/r him on a safe turn card. But board has paired....

He tanked after my c/r ott, considering his options and preferred to flat, I found that a bit suspicious. And now otr I think jamming would be bad bc TT,99 is some part of his range and since he`s spazzy I decided to give him a chance at least, betting river small repping block bet and probably turning my hand face up - it`s Kx or QJ.

Dunno it`s my last table and I`m feeling sleepy, but still w/ strong sense that I`ve misplayed this hand and look very bluffy otr.

I prefer c/raising this flop. No one folds to c/raises with a flush draw on board.
As played I like calling down and let him barrel, your c/raise now looks too strong.

c/r flop, his cbet is pretty strong into two players on that texture and we rep a lot of stuff he might beat. c/c OTT as played and expect him to barrel river with a significant part of his turn barreling range. Shoving river as played since hes rarely folding after this line.

Re: $11r, QJs, line check

Why didn't you shove the river? I think you get called almost as often shoving River as you do betting 11k...

Re: $11r, QJs, line check

would lead 3,800. A lot of bad cards on turn to kill your action. People get confused by leads where as a check/raise looks really strong and good players could potentially get away from AK,KQ,KJ(not sure if they always c-bet those hands).

Re: $11r, QJs, line check

Ty for input.
This exact villain would still probably calls c/r otf w/ most of his range - Ak, AA, FD, sets. (maybe even QQ,JJ)
But still no one advocating c/r otf haven`t said what would be the plan on bad turn cards OOP.

I mean I didn`t want to c/r flop only to b/f turn.

I thought our equity ott is better than otf vs his FDs. Though I agree now, as played otf, I should c/c turn bc c/r on paired board ott make his continuing range made-hand heavy, which have me beat.

The worst turn card is like K but w/e we can c/c turn if the board gets super-coordinated since we're only getting max one more street from worse anyway in that case. Wont be folding unless runout is super nasty

Generally good idea as Dude says.

But as I`ve said V was spazzy, so he could be cbetting even air 3 way.
And I don`t know how would he react to donk bet.

Re: $11r, QJs, line check

turn is brutal.

are you raise/calling? are you doing it for value or are you turning your hand into a bluff?

i think the turn raise is making this hand much harder to play and putting yourself in a spot where your lost...your overplaying your hand imo, yes you have a straight, but your repping much stronger...

hard to say what to do on river... i would check/call or jam

Re: $11r, QJs, line check

You mentioned that the villain was very spazzy so I think this is a great argument to donk the flop, especially with your moderately active image. As has been said previously, a C/R on this board texture at any point of the hand looks very strong. 3800 is on the high end of what I would suggest donking for though as I'm a fan of ~half pot here.
