Vinland is an unknown quantity at this point
 Villain running 20/9/4.7 over 35 hands.
The only thing of note is that he had 3bet me twice when I tried to steal blinds. So he liked to defend. I felt that his call meant that he either had a great hand (High PP) or a couple of paint cards.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

MP2 ($5.95)
CO ($2.10)
Button ($4.95)
Hero (SB) ($10.40)
Villain (BB) ($11)
UTG ($6.25)
UTG+1 ($5)
MP1 ($17.30)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q, A
6 folds, Hero bets $0.40, Villain calls $0.30

Flop: ($0.80) 3, J, Q (2 players)
Hero bets $0.70, Villain raises to $1.80, Hero raises to $5, Villain calls $3.20

I value bet and he reraises. Again, he doesnt want to get pushed over or he is raising for value (QJ, KQ etc),or semibluff (Straight draw: 9T, KT etc). I reraise but I think it commits me to the hand.

Turn: ($10.80) K (2 players)
Hero checks, Villain checks

I am not sure about my check, I remeber thinking at the time that he could have some 2 pair type hands so I wanted to keep it small. Hoping that others will comment on this play here...

River: ($10.80) A (2 players)
Hero ?

Any T in his range has me beat and I have top 2 pair. If I bet, I am committed, if I check and he shoves, I still feel like a call is profitable if he does this with 2 pair...
I Pokerstoved a 33% equity vs his range (see range below). If I check and he shoves I am calling $5 into a pot of $16.50. 5/(5+15.80) = .24 This is well under our equity so I think its a call.

Anyone disagree with my range? (AA,33,AJs-ATs,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,T9s,AJo-ATo,KTo+,QTo+,JTo,T9o)

Thoughts?
I confess in quicksand

No, this doesn't mean he likes to defend.

On the flop you should decide if you're going to go all the way or not before you start putting the money in.

Turn is standard. River is a simple EV calculation.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

i agree with spoon. Q-J and 3-3 is the only i would really be afraid of on the flop and if i do i raise like you did on the flop, i'm gonna fire like 7 at the pot, but i see you only had like 5 bucks left so i'm pushing it on the turn if he checks, or c/c then if he bets im folding.
Stack That Arab Money!!!
