Hey guys so I've got another hand here that I played last night in a 3/3 underground game...I'm just not sure whether or not I should have stacked off with this particular hand to a fishy German new player who had just joined the game for less than an hour...also the game last night was probably the worst/nittiest underground game I've ever played (probably should have just cashed out ridiculous how many chopped pots there were preflop...probably was profitable to just raise blind in lp)

Hero has QQ utg+1

Preflop
Utg folds, hero raises to 10, gets one caller from lp, villain in sb calls, bb calls

Flop J55 ($40)
Villain in sb donks out $15, bb folds, hero calls, lp folds

Turn 2 ($70)
Villain checks, hero bets $35, villain raises to $100 (thinking back on it now with his terrible hollywooding I should have just folded lol..also villain only had maybe just over $100 behind), hero calls $100

River K ($270)
Villain goes allin for his last $110, hero calls



Honestly I loved his fishy donk bet on the flop, and when he x/r turn he really polarized his range to 5x or Jx but just thought he wouldn't really have a lot of fives in his calling range from sb...matter of fact I was already contemplating whether or not I should put him all in on the turn or just smooth call his raise which is what I obviously did...my image at the table has been really quite laggy since like I said the game was so nitty...also villain has been playing really abc with his premiums so I really don't think he ever has JJ or better in his range here...so was this stack off ok?

Turn check raise is always a nut hand.

The lead could have been any Jx (J10, JQ, KJ, JA) and of course a 5 with a small kicker. But once the check raise on the turn and the final barrel on the River the 5 combos is in his range especially when it was cheap for him to call preflop. Fishes or Calling stations like to call to chase but when they flop trips or even top pair they will lead into you esp when acting first. I probably would have folded on the turn and definitely on the river. Don't forget quite a few people will call with low connectors or gap connectors if there blinds are just raised once or they are in later positions.

His range on the flop is polarized between 5x and Jx, but his range on the turn is not polarized at all. Super easy fold there.

Good job calling the flop bet and betting when checked to on the turn, but once he puts in the check raise you need to let it go. Recreational players simply don't donk flop/check raise turn without an absolute monster. Additionally as a blind, his range can be quite wide since people love to play suited connectors in the blinds.
