    Default 2/4 - QQ vs tight reg

    -viillain in this hand is Soprano on stars, he is very tight and runs around 17/13/2.4
    -his wtsd is also pretty low, 22%, he's not much of a hero caller in general
    -In general I don't 3bet him very much, as he's tight and also doesn't call light preflop. I 3bet him pretty polarized, but mostly with air type hands but he doesn't know that
    -last session I called him in the blinds vs his button and c/r the J high flop and he got it in with mid pair +FD and saw that I flatted AA pre
    -this session I have raised him on a few flops and he has folded both
    -is this an easy shove? Any other turn/river combo I'd be happy shoving, but now I feel like I only beat TT

    I would feel a lot better about it if he caught you bluffing instead of slow playing a big pair then value betting it. As played I think shoving is the lesser of the evils.

    I would c/f, I would never expect him to bluff you if you check and I don't see much value in betting since he is capable of making big folds. Unless your image is out of whack I'd say shoving is too thin.

    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    I'd bet $120 and fold to a shove.

    wow such an ackward amount left on the river. I think the river is a c/fold. The times that you get more value from 10s-77 aren't enough vs the times he has JJ+. Your turn bet sizing is weird though. Why so small? Seems like you're never making it that small with a very strong hand since i don't think this is the kind of board you're going to be looking to induce a bluffraise from since it's so dry and if he does have an overpair there's no point 'protecting' and he's just gonna bluffcatch.
    Family Cruise IMO

    I like the call as opposed to 3 betting Preflop bc his range is pretty much 99-AA and AQs+ UTG. The 3 bet is a good play to define his hand on the flop as he will probably not invest the money with anything unpiared. After the Call I automatically narrow his range to 99-AA ( Ur ahead of 70&#37; of his range) Turn. I really dont like the jack bc Im beat by pretty much 75% of his range now. I bet a little more on the turn and prepared to check fold or fold to any aggression. In the end I think u r beat. And looking at the turn

    flattin ur 4bets, makin u tilt
    if he knows ur capable of flatting AA pre then c/r this flop vs his UTG open is suicidal. checkcalling down is delicious on many turn/river combos
