Playing on a new site that doesn't support Ptracker so I'll do my best.

Earlier, villain check-called AKo unimproved on 9T board vs my QJ, we hit running 4-card flushes and she checkraised me on river when she hit. She seems pretty nittaggy in general. Earlier I rivered a boat on an AQQx6 board and bet 3/4 pot and she called and mucked.

eff stacks are 280$

I raise Seven of Diamonds

to 7$ she calls

flop (17$) is Queen of Hearts

I think for a while and check, she checks behind

turn is a beautiful Seven of Clubs

, I bet 15$ she thinks for a bit and calls.

river (45$ish) is Ten of Spades

Board is now Queen of Hearts

I think for a long time and bet 65$. She INSTA raises to 165$, leaving herself 90$ish behind.

Thoughts?

your not contemplating folding are you? Unless im missing something, the only thing in her range that beats you here is 1010/44. Both seem pretty unlikely and her range is a lot wider than those 2 hands imo. I think the large majority of the time this is a 4. I shove and smile about it. Maybe even fistpump.

youre fucked

Your opponent didn't 3bet AKo pre right?

This is tricky, though I'm not folding.

44/QQ/TT have you beat. I guess the decision is whether to push or fold, right? I call if she is nitty, I just can't find the fold button here EVER. Would be sick if it was TT

The instaraise was probably a misclick. Wink

Gross, I hate calling, folding, and pushing. Your opponent has showed in the previous hand she likes to slowplay and count on you to give the action (yeah one hand sample I know, but still...) so it's super likely this is how she would play QQ, 44. And being the nitty type she very likely plays TT like this as well.

There's not any other hands I really see her playing the hand like this and getting to the river and making that raise. I doubt a nittag plays QT for stacks on the river because they're always fearing monsters on paired boards.

Sigh and call I guess if you respect her game that much, and hate life when she shows 45.

Or sigh and push if you think she's capable of bad bluffs or overvaluing lesser hands, and hate life when she shows 4444.

QT is probably all we beat here, me thinks.

smells a lot like TT but there's no way I fold this, and I'm not raising either so call and try not to punch a hole through your monitor when the pot gets shipped her way

how bad is folding

I dont see how you can u fold when the only thing beating u is 44. I dont see TT INSTA-raising on river, as it takes some time to realize u just made a boat, etc etc...id AT LEAST call, most likely push.

for the record id always call unless id logged enough hands with opp to know she was "bet-literate". in those rarish cases i might actually sob, time down to 1 sec for dramatic effect, and fold.

i think when you bet 65 into 45, she just calls with QT...so 35-40 seems better, maybe even $20, to make sure QT/AQ value raises.

anyway, what u wrote seems too much like TT/44. standard is push but idk.

why would anybody call instead of push? to catch a bluff?

really, there's like AA/KK/4x in her range too.

no way a tight player has 4x here

what is this push or fold crap? We need to be ahead about twice as often to profitably push here as we need to be to profitably call.

villain is passive, not tight

Maybe i have wrong reasoning about this, but since theres a decent enough chance he has 44/TT/QQ I prefer just to call here. If we have QQ id always push though. Is this bad?

my thoughts on the hand as it played out were that we're calling to beat bluffs, right?

Well, what bluffs can a solid villain have here? Hearts almost always bet the flop, 56 is unlikely cuz of preflop nittiness, QQ 3-bets preflop almost always so that leaves TT and 44.

I'd bet, however, that 44 raises the turn to build the pot so the hand I expected to be shown here was TT. Another reason we can discount being bluffed is our river betsize. Only really really sick wackos would bluffraise this river after we overbet.

So I think it's a fold. Bleh.
