Preflop Three betting at NL5 is not done lightly imo. With that being the case readless I would probably put him on JJ+ or AK and maybe some other big broadway cards. That's the problem with playing queens OOP. It's too good of a hand to fold, but if you get too agressive with it you end up playing for stacks with the top part of villains range.

I would call the Pre-flop raise, then call down but being careful about non-queen broadway cards hitting the board on the flop or turn. Donking the flop allows villain to fold his missed AK correctly and makes it harder to fold the hand later.

Check/raise the flop and fold to a push would be my line here......


I think you can get rid of it on the river, probably the turn as well, he has min-3-bet you preflop, he has JJ+ or AK...... yeah ok sometimes you get bluffed off by 9's, T's J's, but I reckon you are behind most the time here?

His turn bet is a bit weak though, follwed by the river all in..... bit weird imo, but give him credit with no read here.
