CO: 32.85 BB

SB: 15.99 BB
BB: 22.52 BB
UTG: 9.32 BB
UTG+1: 40.1 BB

8 players post ante of 0.13 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.5 BB) Hero has Q A

fold, fold, Hero raises to 2.1 BB, fold, CO calls 2.1 BB, fold, fold, fold

Flop: (6.7 BB, 2 players) 5 Q 9
Hero checks, CO bets 2.21 BB, Hero calls 2.21 BB

I don't think I need to c-bet this pure. I thought v has a lot PP, suited Ax in range that he'll start folding except the diamond and maybe bd spades

Turn: (11.12 BB, 2 players) 3
Hero checks, CO bets 7.12 BB, Hero calls 7.12 BB

Standard?

River: (25.36 BB, 2 players) 3
Hero checks, CO bets 21.29 BB and is all-in

After x/c flop/turn, is river call also standard?

Seems fine, I might have taken a more aggressive line on the flop or turn but at this SPR I'm comfortable playing for stacks with a TPTK this good.

Do you 3b gii if h c-bets, and v raises?

On the flop my check was intended to keep villains range wide. I think he can only really have bottom set, he should b e 3 betting 99/QQ.

Wanting to keep villains range wide, and not having any bad equity, does that swing your opinion on c-betting?

There are a lot of hands that will call a flop bet that are behind but have equity, that can also check back flop when checked to. KJ, KT, JT, T9, 98, 78, 67, 56, 66, 77, 88, XdXd. You may induce some bluffs from some of these hands with a flop check too, but then if you check call they get to control the action on future streets since you will have to keep checking to them.

I think bet/3bet flop is good. It gives you the option to either bet/bet/jam, or bet/check+jam on certain turns if they flat the c-bet which is nice at this SPR.

As played, snap calling river.

Given this flop its an auto cbet for me HU. We want to charge for flush and/or straight draws. And we can have QQ+ and villain can't. We don't want to let villain draw for free on any gutters. If we always cbet this type of flop HU we will get folds when we miss as well.

If we bet the flop and villain raises I have no problem re-raising because the board is so draw heavy. I also have no problem just calling and seeing what sizing villain uses on the turn. If villain chooses a small sizing I typically c/r.

If we cbet and villain calls, on this turn we would bet the turn. If Villain calls the turn bet I will typically check the river and give villain the opportunity to bluff (though since we bet the turn it might not happen that much). I doubt villain would call a river jam with an underpair (typically we get two streets of calls).

As played the river is also an auto call for me. Everything missed and we under represented our hand. If villain has 2 pair+ we were always going to lose it all given we are OOP.
