Hey Guys,

Trying to review more hands recently.. got put in this tough spot earlier..

PokerStars - $0.10 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4: http://www.pokertracker.com

CO: 123.1 BB (VPIP: 22.88, PFR: 16.10, 3Bet Preflop: 5.88, Hands: 121)
BTN: 106.2 BB (VPIP: 28.57, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 7)
Hero (SB): 301.7 BB
BB: 101.5 BB (VPIP: 20.00, PFR: 20.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 17)
UTG: 103.9 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 9)
MP: 260.5 BB (VPIP: 22.11, PFR: 13.68, 3Bet Preflop: 2.38, Hands: 99)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Jc Jd
fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 3 BB, Hero raises to 12 BB, fold, BTN calls 9 BB

Flop : (25 BB, 2 players) 7s 4h 6d
Hero bets 7.9 BB, BTN calls 7.9 BB

Turn : (40.8 BB, 2 players) Qh
Hero checks, BTN bets 39 BB, Hero calls 39 BB

River : (118.8 BB, 2 players) As
Hero checks, BTN bets 47.3 BB and is all-in, fold

BTN wins 113.5 BB

A couple of questions...

1) should we bet bigger on the flop?
2) should we just fold turn? really strange line by villain...
3) As played we have to fold river?

Thanks in advance

also preferring betting the turn and then x/f if it gets to river.

Thanks for all the responses.

So the flop doesn't hit his range, hence we bet small, also doesn't hit our range, hence by betting small we are able to continue with a lot of our range that also doesn't hit the flop... are we betting bigger to protect our hand against him floating too much with AQ type hands?

I would bet bigger OTF. Board is a little too connected for a 1/3 sizing imo. 3, 5, or 8 puts a 1 liner out there, and Q-A aren’t good cards either.

I find that people will float this 1/3 sizing too wide, which is good for you on dry boards, but on this particular flop, you can be put in a lot of tough spots later on. They will call their decent overcards, or anything with backwoods, and probably bluff one liner run outs if they don’t have it.
