PokerStars - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 140 BB
UTG: 173.4 BB
CO: 100 BB
Hero (BTN): 155 BB
SB: 101.6 BB

SB posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has 4

fold, fold, Hero raises to 2.4 BB, fold, BB raises to 7.2 BB, Hero calls 4.8 BB

Flop: (14.8 BB, 2 players) 5

BB bets 10.6 BB, Hero calls 10.6 BB

Turn: (36 BB, 2 players) 4

BB bets 26 BB, Hero raises to 60.4 BB, BB raises to 122.2 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 61.8 BB

River: (280.4 BB, 2 players) 8

Spoiler:

Reviewing this hand would a flop check raise and then turn jam with the picked up equity from the Turn 4 be better and induce more folds?

In position I would always just be calling A4s here. FD I raise would include a straight draw aswell QJs, A7s etc.

The turn is a big mistake imo we really don't rep much with the raise and much prefer just calling especially with our added equity making the pair

just flat flop and realize equity vs this player with random pre sizings

turn raise is not good

Much rather raise flop when we have more equity vs. his range. I'm not saying it is a raise otf, it just makes more sense than doing so ott.

Either way, I don't think many are folding JJ here.

At this stake, people don't fold TP much at all much less an over pair. I don't think a raise on the flop gets them off JJ or any draw for that matter. As said above, the turn raise was not a good idea. What are we beating at this point? Personally, I might not even flat the 3 bet preflop, but I am a little to nitty too!

This is something you should look at cause we're 140bb effective facing a small 3b BTN vs BB we can not and should not ever be folding a suited A here
