    Default QQ struggling OOP, Line check please!

    Not much to say about opponent, he's your average neighbourhood 18/13/2 TAG who doesn't do anything special. River shove was an attempt to get value out of TT-JJ which is what I hope he has, but I found it really difficult to put him on a hand, which is something that always scares me. Stacks are roughly 100BB, maybe a smidgen more.

    on that board i dont know, all small pairs are out, you'r oop,those which are not out beats you. if he called flop with SC draw then he probably has you beat on the river and in position on you thats how he would play it. if he called flop with TT/JJ but he is solid then he may actually fold that on river to shove being scared of that board/putting you on biger pair. he still has half stack behind him right. (he may call still with TT/JJ sometimes thats true...).

    you very well may be beat, i check the river and decide if he shoves.

    Judging by the size of the all-in bet on the river, it looks like eff. stacks are slightly below 100bbs but I am just nit-picking. Anyways, I think river has to be a c/c or c/f, most likely c/f. He could easily have a PP that turned into a full house, a straight or even quads. You also have the flush possibilities and connectors that connected. I really don't see him having something like A7 here nor TT/JJ who could 4-bet pre. Even if he does have TT/JJ, he may fold that river. I just really think TT/JJ is too narrow of a range to give this guy. I c/f here.

    Make it like $10 preflop. A raise to $8 isn't even a pot sized raise and since you're OOP you should be making it more to make up for your positional disadvantage. Then you can just bet like $18-$20 on the flop which will be about half your remaining stack and then villian will be forced to shove or fold. Just by increasing your bet sizes by a little you can make it a 2-street game instead of 3 or 4 which is a good thing when you're OOP.

    As played I just check the river since I really don't think a tag at this level is going to call a river shove with TT-JJ.

    Hmm after looking over this hand again I think I got the bet sizes wrong PF but whatever converter you used is damn hard to read. It's really hard to tell what amount people are raising to. (Did the guy make it $2 PF or $2.50 PF)? Anyway, I think my point is still valid. Raise more PF so you can get it in on the flop.
