200NL: QQ OOP

Villain 7/5 over 60 hands.

No idea how to play this OOP. Usually I'd be 3-betting, but he's probably not calling with worse.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (8 handed) Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero ($209.60)
UTG ($769.75)
UTG+1 ($200)
MP1 ($215)
MP2 ($257.55)
CO ($192.50)
Button ($240.85)
SB ($211.05)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, Q.
2 folds, MP1 raises to $7, 2 folds, Button calls $7, 1 fold, Hero calls $5.

Flop: ($22) 3, 6, 5 (3 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets $22, Button folds, Hero calls $22.

Turn: ($66) 5 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP1 checks.

River: ($66) 2 (2 players)
Hero ...bets?

Ok, lemme try this one:

60 hands...not good enough of a read for 'nit' -- could easily be a tagg who's carddead.

So let's say his preflop range is 88+/AQ+. When he checks the turn, we can probably take out KK-AA from his range, leaving us with 88-JJ on the river, which he'll probably look us up with most of that, and a few overs he's probably folding on the river.

He may be tight enough that he's probably not take a stab with anything that we beat, so we should just bet $40 on the river to get value from his range that we beat.


how'd I do

if i failed to 3 bet preflop, i'd definitely c/r his cb and shove on the turn. I dont think you can get away from this hand. Man, 60 hands means nothing nothing nothing . Another line is you flat call his flop cb and c/r on the turn. As played, you gotta bet 2/3 pot on the river.

The odds of a station or spewtard having those stats after 60 hands is small enough that I think we can somewhat safely assume he's neither of those, but we just don't know if he's looser-tagg, weak-tight, tight-tagg etc...

You're right tho -- I did play this too weak under the assumption that he's an uber-nit.

bad d0zer

It looks like you already agree with me before I could reply.

Weak preflop,weak flop.

The preflop decision to me is dependant on how bad the button is. If the button will call the RR light then I like to squeeze the QQ, but if they're both nits there isn't much value in it.

Postflop seems pretty standard though.
