    Default Top 2Pair OTT versus poss Str8?

    Villain is 35/5/0 after 20 hands, so no other reads

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (6 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Hero (CO) ($9.65)
    Button ($4.22)
    SB ($5.04)
    BB ($3.68)
    UTG ($5.07)
    MP ($5.12)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with Q, K
    2 folds, Hero bets $0.20, 2 folds, BB calls $0.15

    Flop: ($0.42) 5, K, Q (2 players)
    BB bets $0.35, Hero raises to $1.20, BB calls $0.85

    good flop for me, and he donk bets. rangewise, i think he has a lot of Kx or Qx

    Turn: ($2.82) 9 (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero ???

    hmm.... so now what? he's got less than the pot behind. shove?
    don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop

    Hero ships it in.

    We're way ahead of of his calling range {KJ/KT/K9/Q9/JT, flush draws that now have a pair and sometimes Qx+gutter hands}.

    Canada; the country all tucked away down there...
    yup....plz shove
    Shitty, passive villains dont often lead 3/4pot onthe flop with a str8 draw imo.

    There are tonnes of hands he's calling with after the flop action

    QQ, KK will 3bet pre.
    KQ, K5,Q5 , 55 will 3bet shove flop so his calling range on flop is JT,FD for sure and some other stupid Kx,Qx.
    his straight combos are 16 and you can find at least the same amount of FD combos in his range plus K9,Q9 and some other shitty hands so you can make this a shove w/o a problem. if he has a straight , no problem, shoving here or calling a shove here from BB as played is always + EV
    All posts are just my own opinion about a hand or a general situation... not advices on how you should play...
