We are both deep so i think, i get good odds to complete for 1bb with a resable hand,that can flop well. Maybe because the open is from the utg it is little bit to losse. I give villian a range of 77+,A9s+,A5s-A2s,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,T9s,98s,AJo+, KQo.
I have no stats or notes of villian.


*** FLOP *** [Qd Js 8s]


Hero: checks
Villian: bets 495
Hero: raises 1495 to 1990
Villian: calls 1495


I think the best play here is to check-raise with T9o, because villian has a enough hands in his range what will call a check-raise sets, two pairs, KQ, AQ and wanna charge his strong draws.

*** TURN *** [Qd Js 8s] [3s]


Hero: bets 3758
Kottelett is disconnected
Villian: calls 3758


i think this is a bad turn for our hand because alot of flush draws of villian come in. And i won't get value anymore from hands like AQ and KQ. I still think we must bet the turn big to get value from hands like 88, JJ and QQ, two pairs, that won't pay on a lot of rivers and villain still got some hands like AsQx and KsQx maybe some AsJx hands that i wanna charge. If villian raise a big turn bet on this turn it won't be a lot of bluffs and i think i must fold. I think i must bet the turn bigger than that i did. Something like 4100.
after villians calls i give him a range: JJ+, 88, AsKs, AsQs, AsT, As9s, As5s, As4s, As2s, KTs,QTs+,JTs,KsQs,KsJs,Ks8s,Qs8s,Js8s,Ks7s,Qs7s,Ks 6s,A9o+,KQo


*** RIVER *** [Qd Js 8s 3s] [3d]


Hero: checks
Villian: bets 6818

Here i think there are not alot of hand that villian call that i beat. I don't find any bluffs in villian range that come to the rivr except some hands like AsJx, KsJx and KK+ that he turn into a bluff, butt i dont think alot of the players will do this. The hands that i beat he would check behind or fold to a bet. So i think i must fold here.


Does someone has other thought? Or play it different and why.

Defend is fine
c/r turn is fine and sizing good
Turn is good. We can't assume V arrives here with only fd's
River may be a good spot to downsize, not sure @eggs?

As played imho V hopes you think he has KK and puts you on a counterfeited 2pair. But he actually has A5ss and you're toast

*typo c/r flop is fine
