10NL Blaze QJS
Ok, so I guess the overcall pre with QJs here is maybe questionable, but the only reason I did it was because I know slambang. Even though I have no stats on him to give you at the moment, I have played a fair amount against him in the past on reg tables and he 3bets pretty wide and can be pretty loose. I figured because I had the button and it was only 7bb that overall I can make this profitable against him specifically.
So my first question is on the flop. So the second caller checks and the original 3 better does as well, which I thought was a bit odd. I decided to bet the flop after it went check check as it was a pretty good flop for me. So first, should I even be betting this. I did make a pair but slambang could be getting tricky with AA, AQ, AK maybe 99 or even QQ, even though only 1 combo. I think I bet just to get heads up with him and maybe take down the pot if he was doing this with some garbage. He could have things like KK and JJ that with the over cards he wants to pot control a bit, so maybe betting is not the best play. If it is a good play should I be going bigger. I just here so much stuff about in 3 bet pots only having to bet half pot with the pot dynamics and setting stacks up for river, but maybe a bigger size would be better, idk.
Next is the turn. It was pretty confusing cuz he called the flop and then donks the turn. My first worry was that he hit a flush and of course that makes my flush look pretty weak in comparison. I start thinking though and all A, Q, and J combos of hearts are out, so it only leaves Kh combos. The only decent combo I can come up with for that is KhTh, which as loose as this guy can be, I still don't believe he would be 3 betting that COvMP. So not sure what he would be doing this with. The only things I could come up with were the slow played sets and 2 pair, from the flop or something like AK, KQ, KK with the Kh or just trying to use the scare card to steal the pot. This made me a bit nervous so I decided to raise. The size I came up with i think was a bit large to the point where I might as well have just shoved. So is raising here to protect my hand the best play or should I just be calling here, knowing that there are very little combos out there with the Kh that can beat me and then just give him the rope to shove the river. I am leaning towards the latter now that I have had time to look at it and think a bit more. If I do raise it maybe I should make it a bit smaller and allow him to think he has some FE if he shoves over the top of me, like 2x it or something like that?
