Full-ring. 1/2NL. Caught the poker bug again after a recent Vegas trip. Haven't played regularly since ~2009. I feel like retained a fair amount of fundamentals to turn a profit in Florida's low stakes scene. Set aside a 10BI roll to see if I can become a winning player with study and effort. This is hand is from my 6th session over the last month which took place tonight.

Hero: Young guy. Haven't played many hands. Image probably very tight.

Villain: Mid-60s. Fits the mold of the room, which is located near a large retirement community and full of regulars on a first name basis. My first hand at the table I saw him limp-reraise QQ. Plays most hands. Raises preflop frequently and passively plays draws post, seems to lead with a made hand. Showdowns have been quality.

UTG ($250) effectively min-raises to $5. Hero ($225) is UTG+1 with black JJ and 3 bets to $25. Folds around to villain ($500)in the CO who flats. UTG folds.

Flop comes 2c5c7d ($58)

Hero leads for $50. Villain calls.

Turn is Th ($158)

Hero quickly shoves ($150) ???

Hands seems fine... I’m guessing that you’re ranging him on KcXc+ and the shove is for value?

I’d likely go smaller on the flop and turn, but kudos for going for max value.

It´s probably perfectly played.

I did put him on 2 over cards with the club draw.

Villain snap called and flipped over QQ

He could easily have AXcc too with a steel wheel draw. But I wouldn’t imagine him folding with K9+ clubs either, although questionable if he calls with K9cc PF.

Hope the river was a J for ya!

NH. I would have bet less flop, but you were getting stacked here.

I like 40-45 on the flop.

I’m ok with the shove.

I think what happens more often than not preflop is you take down $5 + the blinds. I would not have gone any bigger than $20.

You got some run good that CO had a hand like TT-88 he could flat with preflop and more run good on the flop and turn runout.

Hand is well played in a vacuum but this is such an outlier outcome.

Thanks for the comments. Look forward to sharing more

You could just bet 100 as it's all going in anyway and would provide more incentive for a call.
