I went to the gym tonight and am a bit tired. I really, really wanted to play some poker tonight...but it probably wouldn't be a good idea. But I still got that itch, sooooo...ANALYSIS.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Replayer from Poker Hands Replayer

CO ($26) - This is the villain from the previous hands that I warred with. Again, he is a 28/25/4.8 with a 16.8% 3b, 33% fold to 3b, and 83% flop cbet. I probably wouldn't mind getting a hand like AQs AIPF against this villain.
Button ($28.70)
SB ($27.30)
Hero (BB) ($25)
UTG ($104.45) - 77/10 dumb fish
MP ($25) - 46/43 over 30 hands. Due to the small sample, I will assume he is a lagtard until proven wrong.
Preflop: Hero is BB with Q , A
UTG calls $0.25, MP bets $1.25, CO calls $1.25, 2 folds, Hero raises to $4.50, UTG calls $4.25, MP calls $3.25, CO calls $3.25
So in retrospect, I pretty much hate my 3bet here. Actually, I loathe it. Given villains' stats, I shouldn't expect them to fold much. Also, I'm OOP against three other players so my 3bet should probably be bigger (as played ldo). At the time, I felt as if a call OOP without initiative was pretty bad. I also hated a fold against these villains since I was most likely ahead of their range...so I raised. I would love to hear other opinions on this. Please let me know here or PM me on IRC or somethin'.
All three villains probably have a wide range since most seem pretty fishy. I am leaning towards broadway cards with the occasional mid-pocket pair. I also think SCs are in CO's range.
Flop: ($18.10) 5 , 2 , 8 (4 players)
Hero bets $20.50 (All-In)
I get my flush draw and two overcards. I am a favorite against pocket pairs that missed their sets and a huge favorite against any other suited spades. If villain were to hit his set, I am a 25% underdog. I put these types of hands in villains' calling ranges. With only one bet left, I choose to go all-in as I am ahead of their calling range. I don't think it would have been better to check with the risk of it being checked through and losing a ton of equity on the turn (though my friend in the CO would have probably bet but i don't think it was worth the risk).
This hand was an awkward and confusing hand for me since the situation was pretty non-standard. I don't think I played it horribly, but I do have my doubts. Feel free to flame me. Thanks.
