Hey, I'm new to FTR, nice to meet you all. I've been reading the forums for a while, and I decided that it's time to start contributing.

I have a hand from today that I'm a little confused about. Here it is:

PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, K.
3 folds, MP2 calls, CO raises, 2 folds, Hero 3-bets, MP2 folds, CO caps, Hero calls.

Flop: (9.40 SB) 8, 7, 4 (2 players)
Hero bets, CO raises, Hero calls.

Turn: (6.70 BB) 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero calls.

River: (8.70 BB) Q (2 players)
Hero bets, CO calls.

Final Pot: 10.70 BB

Results in white below:
Hero has Qd Kh (flush, king high).
CO has Ad Ac (one pair, aces).
Outcome: Hero wins 10.70 BB.

I think I played the turn and river correct, but I'm not sure if I should made that reraise pre-flop. Also, I bet flop to see where I was , though after he raised me I was pretty sure he had a high pocket pair. Should I have even continued to the turn?

Misplaced aggression.

What range is the CO opening? Why did you 3-bet out of position in a heads-up pot against him instead of just check/raising a good flop? Does he laydown often enough to naked aggression after opening like this? What % of the time do you think you blow him off his hand?

Okay, I see why my preflop action was faulty now. I should have just called, then seen what the flop held. So, if the flop comes the way it did, should I have just checked and then folded to a bet?

I hadn't been at the table long, so I had no reads on the kind of cards this player raises with. I had seen some crazy raises earlier in the day at other tables that would then fold to me on the river, and I think I let those incidents cloud my judgement of this situation. I've read SSH, but I've still got a long way to go in learning how to handle these kinds of situations.

I probably don't win this situation often enough to make what I did worthwhile. I'm not sure of an actual percentage.

Sometimes I check/fold. Sometimes I check/call. Rarely I will check/raise. It depends on what I think of the CO.

That's somewhat interesting, but you really want to know more about this particular player.

3-bet from the SB would be ok, but BB is just wrong.

dont bet the flop, maybe check call, most likely check/fold
turn is ok
river is ok
take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately
