QQ giving me troubles

    Default QQ giving me troubles

    here I am betting the turn because I think there's value in the draws (similar to a post i made last week), but am I forced to fold this every time on the river? opp is 29/20 over 95 hands so I know he's calling 3bets quite light

    1 fold, mo0m0omilk88 raises to $7, 3 folds, Hero raises to $24, mo0m0omilk88 calls $17

    Flop: ($49, 2 players)
    Hero checks, mo0m0omilk88 checks

    Hero checks, mo0m0omilk88 bets $50

    ------------
    here opp is 22/20 over 130 hands, it's such a dry board that I'm not sure what I can really put his range on here, but calling the flop I think is best, then what do I want to get value from and how much do I want to bet on turn/riv if at all?

    here my opp is a pretty bad player from what I'd seen paying 32/11 over about 75 hands (id seen him cold call a 3bet w/ A4o for instance)
    do I want to bet the turn here, I'm not sure, 56 got there for instance, how would you play this?

    opp is tagg 17/14.5/3.3, I prefer just calling in position here with QQ, if I raise the flop big I feel i'm only getting a lot of action from KK/AA/AKs 4flush etc and perhaps getting folds from hands like 99/TT etc - but on the turn I think i have to bet this pretty hard.

    too many hands, i hate trying to comment on a bunch of them in one post, for the most part though i think you need to just play these hands more confidently and aggressively. at the first sign of an opponent fighting back at all you seem to turn very passive. you should figure an overpair is the nuts, the only hand i would be a little cautious about is the last one.

    and in the 1st one, i would bet that flop 100% of the time, there's no other way to find out where youre at in the hand OOP.

    hand 1 bet flop $30 you should cbet like 90% of the time in 3bet pots. it makes him define his hand instead of spending just as much to fold the river to possibly a worse hand

    as played the turn bet makes no sense, you should check/call


    hand 2, bet/fold turn. he may just have a J here and as played river bet definitely 1/2 pot at least

    hand 3 i'd like reads on villain on whether or not to bet river. Check behind is ok because I don't know WTF we beat that can call a river bet

    hand 4

    ok, so you had your plan and he checked turn. Gotta bet it 2/3 pot. What is the question here? I think this an OK way to play it.

    flattin ur 4bets, makin u tilt
    1. fold river
    2. bet river, u have the nuts
    3. bet river, u have the nuts
    4. i wouldnt bet the turn because this is a bluff and you don't actually fold out any better hands unless villain is FGATORS
