1/2 live

Utg limps, i raise to 10€ Utg+2 with QJh (300€ stack), 3 callers. I cbet 23€ on Qs9d5c, 1 caller. On the turn 6c we check. On the river Jd i valuebet 40€ and he goes allin for 170€. Hero?

He was sitting for around an hour on the table and lost 400€ playing LAG and bluffing here and there.I had a tight image and won all hands when it came to showdown.

Welcome to the forum, OP.

Just to format this a bit simpler:

V is LAGy over the last hour and down about 400. Current stack ~200
Hero has tight winning image and covers

UTG limps. Hero 10 with QhJh, 3 callers including V.

Pot ~40
Flop Qs9d5c
Hero: 23 and called only by V.

Pot ~85
Turn Qs9d5c6c
Hero check, V check

Pot ~85
Turn Qs9d5c6cJd
Hero 40, V shove for 170 total (130 more).

So hero is facing a call of 130 into a total pot of 425 (if we call), correct?

If this is right, we need to be good 30.6% of the time to call. Given V description and how dry the board is, it seems he's likely overplaying TP/worse 2p often enough to make the call.

Call.

Hero's hand is under-repped and we're good here often enough for calling to be +ev.

Yeah I'd be pretty happy to call just unlucky he hit a straight

Posting results too quickly creates bias in others responses. I do agree with above comments, based on the way you played it you kind of have to call. But it might be an easier call if you had Q10 since the 10 would block some straight combos. When I read it, I figured the guy might have K10 since he checked back the turn. That would make sense cause he might be good if he hits a king or jack. Maybe be a little cautious on this board next time on the river, if you do check turn, then maybe consider ch/c river. Jack is not as good of a card for you in this type of situation. 16 combos of K10, 16 combos 10 8. Sorry you lost

The way the hand was played i thought that he can only have KT, T8 or J9 and that he might be turning JT into a bluff. He would bet his sets and 76 on the turn.

Hero played the hand fine.

We got coolered.

This is a spot where LAG villain's are capable of bluffing and we should be calling with hands that are near the top of our range. He can also shove with e.g. J9.
