    Default Was my line okay on the turn and river??

    Button is a donk. 38/5/1.50

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    SB ($29.30)
    BB ($11.95)
    UTG ($6.40)
    MP ($26.50)
    Hero (CO) ($25)
    Button ($37.05)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with Q, 10
    UTG bets $0.75, 1 fold, Hero raises to $1.25, Button calls $1.25, 3 folds

    Flop: ($3.60) A, 9, J (2 players)
    Hero bets $1.90, Button calls $1.90

    He called here so I put him on a weak Ace.

    Turn: ($7.40) 8 (2 players)
    Hero bets $6, Button calls

    He calls again so now I put him on AJ, A10, A9

    River: ($19.40) 2 (2 players)
    Hero bets $6, Button calls $6

    Bringing the mind home.
    Firstly, put together a decent range. I'm noticing a lot of people are applying very narrow ranges for villains even when they do try to construct a range. For instance, why do you think villain's range is only Ax and doesn't have any draws?

    You also have an issue with betsizing, pf shouldn't be a min3bet for reasons I'm sure you know or could quickly gather. Flop cbet could be bigger. Turn at least you're trying to get some money in, but when you state his range is top pair with oesd or two pair, NO flush draw, why do you bet the river so small? You think he never has a flush so what are you afraid of happening if you bet big? Think about that.

    Probably not the best idea to 3bet a person who has 6dollars in his stack.

    Not the best flop for a cbet but he might fold King high,small pocket pair.
    Give up on turn/river

    Flop cbet is fine, it's a board we hit a lot, that we 3bet is almost irrelevant given the size lets in all the hands that would flat a normal pfr, so it's not like villain's range tightens up any.

    Probably best not to give up on the turn as we just made the nuts :P If we had bricked the turn I'd sometimes bet/fold but mostly/check fold unless villain bets small enough for us to correctly call our draw.

    I don't get the preflop 3-bet either against a UTG raiser and the 3-bet size does not make sense (maybe it is to make your stats look good?). Note that it also does not make much sense to raise UTG and then fold to a tiny 3-bet. If you did that against my UTG range, you'd be 4-bet-big-time the majority of the time.

    OK to c-bet / bet your draw on the flop but this depends a lot on your read on villain. If he is aggressive (but it does not seems to be the case here) and prone to raising maybe a check call is better.

    I don't see why you exclude flush/straight draws from his range.

    Turn is fine, close to pot sized bet for value and to make him pay to draw.

    River is OK if you do this as combination of a blocking bet against flushes and a small value bet against weaker hands. If you go by your read that he always has a good but weaker hand (two pairs, a set), and your bet is purely a value bet, then you should probably bet more, like 60-70% of pot. But I really don't see how you can exclude a flush.

    Agreed with the first part

    As for the second part, I usually keep playing with the nuts

    But yeah fold pre rest is fine I guess (postflop)

    You can't really get great responses without reads or having you put them on a range

    oh and BTNs range probably has more pocket pairs since he cold called a small 3bet so cbet is good.

    The river bet is all-in. There can be no other bet.
