Steal attempt & CB ok?

Hi,

i think that Q9s is marginally strong enough for a steal attempt and the OESD plus a J on the board (to put me on something like KJ b/c of the raise) is good enough for the flop bet, is that correct?

SB is unknown, BB: 67/8/0.6 , fold to CB 70%

Pacific Poker NL10
6 players

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with Q :spade: 9 :spade:
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.3, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: 5 :spade: T :club: J :heart: ($0.9, 3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $0.5, 2 folds.
Uncalled bets: $0.5 returned to Hero.

Results:
Final pot: $0.9

all day for me

I'd raise a little more pf.

definitly raise to 4bb here but this is super standard. Always cbet an OESD, especially when you have the initiative.

it doesn't matter wether you raise 3x/3.5x/4x as long as you always do that. both have advantages. I guess it depends a bit how many times you pf raise/how much pressure you want to put on someone/wether you 4bet light etc

although its the widely accepted practice this isnt always true.

true

not always

You played this perfect OP. Probably want to raise 4x preflop at the smaller stakes though.

thanks for the feedback everyone, I'll definitely try raising 4x.

id raise larger pre flop because of BB - might as well get a few more $$ in for him to fold away on the flop.
