This is a 5/5 home game which plays like a 5-10 thats why i'm posting it here.
Villian is a good player who usually plays a lot higher. We haven't played many pots together. I give him lots of respect and he knows I'm an above average player. Villian 2 in the hand had some history with villian but hes irrelavent.
On another note. Villian1 made a semi-bliuff against villain 2 and ended up calling an all-in for another 300 with bottom pair hitting runner runner straight to stack villian 2 a few hands back.

Hero : 1900
Villian 1 : 1300

Onto the hand:
9 handed:
4 Limpers, villian 2 limps , and i Limp with Q K on the BTN.
Villian 1 makes it 40 to go, Villain 2 calls, and I call

Flop : J 6 7
Villian 1 leads 90
Villian 2 Folds
Hero thinks for 20 seconds and makes it 230 to go
Villian 1 Calls

Turn : J
Villian 1 Checks
Hero thinks and bets 350
Villain 1 calls

River Q
villian 1 Checks
Hero Goes all IN

Is this Spew? Regardless of the river, my plan was to go all in on most rivers. Villian is very aggressive and is a thinker. I have seen him spew afew times but overall he knows when to squeeze fold and raise. He can make a thin call.

Ill post the result later: but IMO i believe his range is any mid PP to QQ-KK-AA
QQ , KK seems less likely because I held one of each. Any advice or criticism is welcome as long as its constructive . Thank you

I think you need to think about the range of hands you represent, because it is very narrow. For example, would you raise a jack on this flop? Maybe JsXs, but other than that, probably not right? Your range here in his eyes is sets and combo draws, with an occasional jack, and the only 2pair combo is counterfeit. I think these turn and rivers are not good cards for you to barrel if thats the case? I mean, on the river, are you representing like 66/77/Jx? and I don't think you can rep Jx very well. In general I don't like this against a good hand reader, could be good against a level one thinker though. Although, if he overthinks, the river could be a merge, as he may have TT/99 some of the time and call, but I don't think thats the case here.

Oh, and whats with not isoing KQ on the button? Raise preflop please.

Villain is calling with anything that beats you here, I would check now that your hand has showdown potential. Also, Villain 1 is supposed to have a MONSTER to flat call OOP on your 350 turn bet, possibly AA or slow playing a boat.

Agree with my imaginary friend too, this seems standard 5/5 (not that you need to justify posting here IMO)

Brian, i absolutely agree with you. In my mind after i made the flop raise, I was thinking the only hand i can really represent was 67s , 66 or 77. And after the turn it could have only been 66 or 77. I fired the turn because I thought there was a good possibility of him floating me on the flops with 8's 9's or 10's, also I was probably reluctant to give in. Well in the hand, he says he thinks i'm bluffing or the only hand he was able to put me on was J 10 and folded. I showed him QK and he says he had me beat.

But hypothetically speaking, how would u play 66 or 77 in this situation on the flop?

major spew and its impossible to believe he folded anything that beat you on the river

As the hand progressed i thought there was a liklihood he could
have had kk-aa. My image is usually seem as tight at the table so this play does not usually happen from me. Although I won this hand, I thought I misplayed it and it will potetially effect me in the future hence the post.

Onedollar, why would you make a post like that when in another thread you call someone out for making a similar one at you? It is uncalled for and has no place in this forum.

I enjoy your contributions and look forward to many more from you...just not in that fashion. Please don't do it again.

+1

...flop raise not great, after it's called turn barrel is bad and I think checking behind on the river with a hand w/ showdown value is appropriate... What hands that are beating u do u think will fold to ur shove? If ur shoving for value it's very thin but u stated u were shoving almost any river and that seems like spew to me.

I think the ONLY time I limp KQo in that situation is when I'm 250+ bb deep effectively, and I'm not looking to play a big pot, as it doesn't flop that well. I raise PF to thin the field and get HU if possible, and to make it incorrect for sm PP and SCs to draw.

I raise to $40-50 PF. As played I fold PF.
