So basically I pussed out hard on this hand and know it. I had about 100hands on this guy and I raised flop 2 times on him neither of which he folded, he reraised me 1 time and i stacked him and this hand, so nothing to report there really. He was 25/16/7 with AF of 1.4 over that sample. Flop cbet of 50% on 10 possibles, so not much to go on there

Preflop is this defense a little too wide to an MP open with all the reverse domination you could have.

Just felt like this flop hits my range way harder and I have an OESD to boot, so thought it was a good one to raise. He doesn't have ton of J's or 9s in his range. After he calls raise, my ego gets the best of me and I shut down. I feel like if I am gonna raise this I have to follow it up with a turn bet, but couldn't get myself to do it. I know he could just have a FD or SD himself or some over cards or Jx etc.

IDK, feel like I butchered this hand in a lot of ways so I just got out

Yeah I'm not keen on the raise. This guy looks a bit fishy to me based on the 87s hand where he min 3bet OOP, then called overbet donk on the flop and folded turn. Strange line. I'd just call flop and try and realise my equity. If you do raise I guess you could barrel and rep 9x. But, you can't have JJ after preflop action but you could have SD and FD so Jx and 9x (obvs) and overpairs aren't folding on flop, or turn probably (especially this turn) so you are repping pretty thin. I guess some FD's might so maybe its OK but I'd not get into this spot.

Also I'm not sure this board hits your range that much better than his.

I think as played you were right thinking that a turn barrel is the correct follow up. He can still fold some part of his range that he's calling the flop with.

The question is, is the flop semi bluff any good? I certainly think it's better than calling OOP on a paired board with a flush draw. I don't mind it really. Villain doesn't look terrible and you should have some fold equity,plus your draw to a hand which beats a bare 9x so there's some extra value coming later some %

QTs is a standard defend from the BB versus a CO open. This guy looks like he's opening a bit tighter than average but he's not a nit so I think you've got plenty of room for error to defend much weaker hands than QTs

Mostly find to just call the flop with this combo, although raising is reasonable. Btw, assuming we raise this combo then barreling is mandatory on pretty much every turn card. It's pretty weak-tight to just check/fold 8 outs on the turn like that, and check/calling is not going to be great either. So easy barrel.
