UTG running 35/30 (35 hands) no reads other than he seems agro.
MP running 35/17 (100 hands) has shown up in a 3 bet pot with KJo and I don't think he's any good.

I figured 3 betting pre was better than calling and maybe slightly ahead of folding. I lead on flop cause I didn't really know what else to do.
Looking for postflop comments although you may berate my preflop play if you wish.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero ($92.90)
UTG ($63.45)
MP ($88.05)
CO ($13.45)
Button ($49.25)
SB ($60.30)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, A.
UTG raises to $2, MP calls $2, 3 folds, Hero raises to $8, UTG calls $6, MP calls $6.

Flop: ($24.25) 7, A, 9 (3 players)
Hero bets $20, UTG insta shoves to $55.45, MP folds, Hero wants to call

You 3-bet a hand that's way ahead of UTG's range. You hit the flop. The aggro UTG gets aggro. This is everything you could have asked for.

Fold if you hate money. I wouldn't be surprised to see villain flip over A2 offsuit. What you have to remember here, is that your first instinct is often the best one. Your first instinct was the 3-bet pre.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

Agreed. Against described villain I never feel bad going broke here. I honestly think you played every street fine as long as you called the shove.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

Yeah I called he had KJ (no hearts), I guess I was more surprised that I was that far ahead. If im 3 betting this pre this I think I have to stack off here. I guess I posted this cause I thought maybe this would be a 1 time thing that he would be donating in that spot.
o well nh.

Flopped pair of Aces from AQ/AK is usually the nuts in reraised pot with 100bb'ish stacks behind.

Checkbomb is OK if villain in aggro monkey. Lots of donks can't help to take a stab versus your "obvious" KKish hand but will fold most of their losing range facing flop PSB.
