No.

To elaborate, you didn't spike a set, and your hand has only two outs to improve. Even without the flush draw, just about any card that falls can kill your hand, and you don't know which ones they are.

You missed. Give it up and move on.

okay thanks Alan. What about on paired boards like 776r or something? Do I take one off?

On something like 776, 55 has a lot more equity. Not only would it be more likely to be the best hand on the flop, you can turn an OESD. The low board is also better for your range, as villain has no broadway draws to barrel.
With two overs on a board, where loads of hands have straight draws that you don't block, always just fold to the c-bet. It's a pretty big leak to chase 2-outers on overcard boards (like K9x) where villain can barrel so often.

yeah i need to work on this ive been leaking money all over the place.

Just ran this massive bluff. wanted to get your thoughts

I like the line and the sizing, only concern is not having AA or JJ in our value range, while our opponent does, but we do have 54s, 33, 77 if you dont 3bet any of those pre.

The 75o is pretty spewy, but I think it's probably OK at some frequency. I sometimes do something similar (I love turning pairs into bluffs with river overbets), although I usually pick bottom pair with a draw (even less SDV) if I feel like getting frisky. 74 and 75 could just float the turn and then bluff the river if villain gives up (or sometimes just check back and occasionally win), whereas 53s is that little bit weaker. It probably doesn't make much difference which precise combos you use though, as long as you don't do this routinely with every pair+gutter.

check or bet this turn? On one hand I want to protect against A,K,Q rivers. On the other I want to keep the pot small.

What makes you think you have the best hand?

i dont know but QQ-AA more often bet the turn then not. So you like a check? I've been thinking that I like a check more too because getting XR would suck.

x turn

I would bet that turn. I don't understand. Do these players only squeeze with QQ-AA ? I would also call the turn check raise, if it happened. But I am a rec player so don't take my advice.
In the games I play, the turn check raise line could be diamond or heart draws...
Also the squeeze range would not just be QQ-AA

I'm never folding here, is just jamming the flop fine? Villain seems LAG-gy but really small sample

In a cold 4-bet pot, that flop is pretty damn ugly for kings. By jamming, you don't give villain any chance to make a betting or raising mistake, or even a calling mistake. He's not gonna call off with TT or a random gutshot. I think you do better by going very small or even checking, as there's no hurry to get all in if you're never folding.
I'm not sure though. Cold 4-bet pots that actually see a flop are not something I've studied in depth. :/

Line check please. Pretty lost on all streets

Sigh-fold turn, I think. You've still got loads of better overpairs and FDs with overcards in your range, and you're pretty much never calling a river jam unless you bink the 2 outer.

Thanks Arty! What's the worst pair we call(maybe jam?) with here. I was thinking JJ? Also us not having a spade matters a little bit right?

Isnt the sizing bad? In another personal thread i was told not to 4bet cold huge

Shouldnt bet bigger the flop? The sizing makes him autocall

JJ would definitely be my "I hate this decision" spot. I'm still pretty happy with queens. The blocking/anti-blocking effect of not having a spade is too confusing for my little brain.
The general rule is to cold 4-bet big when you're OOP to the 3-bettor, smaller if you have position on the 3-bettor.
I partly agree on this one, actually. I think hero's range prefers a bigger bet on low paired boards. I don't think it's too bad to bet small as long as hero isn't betting total air, because he's gonna get floated a lot. It's a curious thing where if you bomb it, you can actually have a higher c-bet frequency in a 3-bet pot with a range advantage, as your bluffs have more chance of working. If you go small, you get floated or raised too often. Maybe the fact that there is a FD on this flop makes a smaller bet more appropriate, as your draws want to get there cheaply. If it was a rainbow, then I'd go with at least half pot with all kinds of junk and just try to make villain fold his overcards immediately. FWIW, Snowie pots it with 94% on 522r, but bets 1/4p with 40% on 744tt. 662tt is neither super-dry or sopping wet, so the strat will likely be somewhere between those listed above.

x or b turn?

[results-oriented]Well, obviously, if the villain called your turn bet, you should have checked.[/results-oriented]

It looks fine as a bet, but you're probably supposed to check a handful of FDs. The river would be the tricky decision.

Sorry I don't know how to post up hand history that I have seen here.

Just want to get a confirmation a sigh/call is correct on river.

6 max.

I get 55 UTG. I raised 4x
Only BB calls.

Flopped a sweeeeeet one J95

BB - check
I bet 4x (same size as pre-flop)
called off.

Turn - some ****.
I bet 10x. Called off

River... J952T (three suits)

V suddenly shoves OOP.

I sigh and call....

Correct or not?

Yeah. Don't fold a set there, as villain has some 2prs and random stuff you beat, as well as better hands. Please post actual suits (on the board, and in your hand) and stack sizes, when making HH threads though. If you don't post full info, responses will be just as half-assed.
