Reads: Late 20s or so black guy, drinking a little but definitely not drunk (at least not yet). Limps quite a bit pre flop. Has been pretty solid post flop. He has been fairly aggro postflop, but has shown down good hands at showdown. Rivered two flushes recently.

Immediate history: About 3 orbits ago I raised him from the SB (he was BB) with Jacks after it folded to me. Flop came K 10 10 rainbow. Check/check. Turn was a blank, I bet small he made a fairly large raise and I folded.

I probably have a tight image due to folding so much pre flop, and villain has commented on this. I've been card dead.

Onto the hand. I open to $13 9 handed with QQ. Villain flats next to me as does the button. $42 in the pot, $125 effective. Flop comes 983. I bet $25 and villain instantly makes it $70.

Now I'll start the discussion. One thing I've learned is you should be much more ready/willing to commit in this same situation if I had raised from, say, the cutoff and villain was on the button. Now my perceived range is wider, so villain's raising range will be wider. But when I open to $13 from UTG, he's probably putting me on a very narrow range of AK and big pairs.

Is JJ or 1010 still in his range here? Still profitable to commit?

Fist pump shove. Play deeper.

Deffinitely get it in. He might be trying to bully you like that last hand. Even so, he could be value raising JJ or TT. He could be semi bluffing JT. Pot is too big, you are too strong, folding is crazy, got to shove. Also, He likely would 3-bet KK or AA pre so those hands are not much of a worry.

Results: I shove and get called by KK and lose.
