villain is 22/20/1.3. With AQ in the SB I thought this would be a nice time for a squeeze play. On the flop I make a c-bet and I turn a straight and nut flush draw, with 2 overs, so I shove.

Is this hand totally standard or did I just play this way too fast? Should I have check-folded the flop? I can't figure out if I played it bad or if I just got unlucky.

I'm fairly sure the turn is standard: even if I only have the straight + flush outs, I still have 25% equity, meaning I hardly need any fold equity for the shove to be profitable.

I think you played it fine - the turn shove is villain dependent but it seems fine to me...

yeah i think its fine... kind of spewy but pretty standard imo, he folds pf, flop, and turn a bunch.

I strongly have to disagree here. If I calculated it correctly I need about 5% fold equity (which I easily have!) for the shove to be profitable, if I only have 12 outs. Given this, I don't see how I could play the turn any differently. What line would you take then?

This seems very standard. You shove your made hands and AK/AQ with a diamond here so if he called like JJ he's getting it in behind.

looks pretty spewy to me

If you bet that flop, you have to shove the turn, so that part is standard. I think the squeeze is fine. The question i guess is, should you fire the flop. I don't see any way around it but i have a feeling his whole range is calling on that board if he's any good. If he's bad, then i think a stronger cbet would be better, you ahve to get ak to lay down. Other than that, i don't know what the bet does for you.

If you think he is checking back the turn (he may well do considering his af of 1.3 and the way the hand has played) then i much prefer a check on the turn as it allows you to c/f if you want on the river if you miss...

I wouldn't show results since you'll get a skewed response. I don't mind this, I think the squeeze pre-flop is good and I like the fact your willing to get it in. The thing I would mainly change here is your bet sizing. On the turn you have so little FE because the villain is getting close to 3:1 on a call. If he has something like 99/88/AT, he'll think screw it I'm getting good odds - I'll call.

If on the flop you bet $8 he's still calling with the same range, I really don't think you get extra folds out of 99-66 by betting an extra $5. On the turn you'll have a PSB left, so he'll be calling $35 and getting 2:1 instead of calling $28 and getting 2.7:1.

So in the end I'd bet $8 on the flop and shove any A/K/Q/ turn. You'll also save money when you c/f the turn.

good flop to c-bet, and you get a magical turn. better question is y wouldnt i shove here against a 22/20

PF: Fine, AQo multiway sucks
Flop: I just check here, his CCing range is narrow, and I dont think youll get him folding much.
Turn: As played shove is good
