    Default NL25: QQ facing aggresiion in blind war

    Villain is 36/15. I havent seen him do this limp /3 bet thing and its the first time he has 3 bet at all in fact.

    Did I play the hand to passive? Should I be raising the flop and when he checks the river can I bet? Is anything worse still calling?

    $0.1/$0.25 No Limit Holdem
    5 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($25.00)
    CO ($26.35)
    BTN ($25.25)
    SB ($59.70)
    Hero (BB) ($29.70)

    Pre-flop: ($0.35, 5 players) Hero is BB
    3 folds, SB calls $0.15, Hero raises to $1, SB raises to $3, Hero calls $2

    Flop: ($6, 2 players)
    SB bets $3.50, Hero calls $3.50

    Turn: ($13, 2 players)
    SB bets $10, Hero calls $10

    River: ($33, 2 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks

    I think this is fine but it's not a line you see a lot
    usually when someone limps they have a pp and then they spaz and 3b it

    although bvb people do this with AK to trap you or something
    you can raise flop probably unless you think he'd only limp/3b aces

    Raise the flop. Bet the river.

    wondering where the 3 extra chairs at my 6max table came from
    Don't know how much BvB changes this... At $10nl where I used to see this limp/3b alot more in EP, it was almost always AA/KK. Raise the flop may push out AK/AQ/KQ type hands. Keep in mind if you do, you'll have >50% of your stack in the middle so think carefully what you'll do to a shove and subsequent streets he just calls.

    As played, with his AK hitting the Turn, I think it becomes more about pot control. He possibly slows down on the Ri worried you're sitting on a 67s, 78s, 89s,55,44, A8s kinda hand?... or his repping the K w/ JJ-TT didn't get the love he'd hoped. Either way, I'm checking this through. If it's a very aggressively played busted FD, I think he'll fold. If it is JJ-TT then he might call something small. But if it's anything Kx (w/ AK fitting nicely into that... you know, we limp 'cause we're gonna get tricky when we spike our A or K on the flop, but then get raised, so sh!t, my hand is premium so I will 3bet!) or, god forbid, AA/KK, you're f-ked and would probably have to pay off a shove.
