Flop doesn't necessarily have to be a cbet but it's fine. Turn is probably a check. Fold river without reads. fwiw I'm pretty tempted to call there but I don't see us being good there all that often vs an average reg.

Is QJs your standard 3bet form BB?I dont like pre because hand plays ok just by flatting and I dont want to call 4bet OOP with this but I dont want to fold it either so calling pre would be my advice.

I dont hate flop cbet we block KQ KJ we can keep betting on some turns A T 9 for example and V probably overfold K high flops

Turn-just give up imo

River-I think calling is ok.V probably 4bet AK you block KQ and KJ probably dont even bet the river and you dont block any of his flush draws,but turn is pretty big mistake imo

Yeah I agree turn might have been too wide.

I squeezed preflop because of the min open and I think in game their F3b stat might have been a little high so that's why I opted to 3b. Obviously QJs plays quite alright MW but I think the EV of a 3b/cb line is higher.

Why would you ever call a 4bet oop with QJs anyway?

We need to have some hands giving up on the turn, and we have hearts being our best bluffs to barrel with. I don't think we have enough value combos that want to bet twice to justify sliding in this combo into our double barrel range.

I'd go larger pre

I don't think postflop is bad.

Prefer flatting pre. Plays well post-flop, plus we don't want to inflate the pot when OOP.

Use hud to determine to cbet or not. If villain floats a lot, just x/f. If villain plays fit/fold, I like a cbet.
Turn is similar. If villain floats but folds a lot to TCbet I dont mind it. But if not, villains range is mostly Kx, maybe some PP. Depends on if villain is calling a DB w pocket pairs & how his range is built up, but my default is to x/f turn.
River is a fold. Villain has tons of Kx and pocket pairs in their range, and v. rarely any bluffs. I expect villain to have KQ, AK, QQ a lot and not enough bluffs to call this bet.

Bluff flop is alredy close, not clearly bad with blocker to KQ but it is rather x/f. Turn bluff is very likely wrong, it is very easy to overbluff turn when BDFD improved.
