QQ in 3bet pot

flop should either bet small or check, not sure why you bet 1/2 pot. im guessing checking makes more than betting as you rarely or maybe never (if you dont 3b AJ) have a jack here and its hard for him to call any decent sized bet with worse. as played im not folding you are getting too good a price.

Fold. No way he does this w/ less than QQ given your one read -- and that's all you have. (I check the flop.)

I'm not folding. Don't check flop.

For me, this is very player dependent. There are more than a few in my games that hit their hand and shove no matter what street they’re on. With no more info, I would guess villain is in that category.

Again, in my games I rarely see anyone bluff with an all-in bet. It’s very hard to call an all-in

Then when you do get it in against villains A7, he spikes an ace on the river. Honestly, I have seen so many bluffs catch up and win. All-ins are kinda magical.

I’m guessing you didn’t really want to downbet on the flop, but I think that would have been ok

But the bet you made indicated that you were strong enough to call, so he got it in.

Against a random hand on this board, QQ is an 80% favorite, but if villain has a jack, the odds for Hero are 8%. There’s not enough equity to cover that.

If he shows me a bluff, I’ll have to fist bump him and have a big laugh. Probably tell him I would have called if they were red queens.

Ouch. Looks like QQ+, some AK/AQdd, random stubborn Jx and occasionally TT like stuff tho the read implies they'd flat a weaker 2 pair. Without more info, don't see how villain stacks off light here so seems like a fold even tho we're getting 2:1

This is the guy who called the first raise and then flatted the 3bet, so a J is well within his range. I guess he could have AdKd/Qd (if he plays like the guys I play against) or similar.

Any vibe? Is he neat, sloppy, crazy-looking, old, young, nervous, etc.? Does he have the same demeanor the last time he shoved? Has he played any other hands?

Grunch:

PRE - looks fine. I might size up a bit with the 3B.

FLOP - check back, or c-bet smaller, like $40, or $50 at most.

It would help to know more about V. In the previous hand you saw, did he flop the nuts or turn the nuts? How did the action go pre, on flop, and turn? What were the bet sizes, and from what position?

Guessing you don't really remember all the details of that earlier hand, so it's of limited use in figuring out what to do here.

I wouldn't expect him to check-jam JJ or a combo draw. Maybe he just jams trips or better. Wondering if he plays 88-TT this way. Just hard to structure any sort of range that isn't too face up or too FOS.

I dunno man. We 3B pre and c-bet chunky. We look strong, and he doesn't seem to care. Think I might let this one go.

What is his range? MP calls a raise and 3bet pre, his most likely holdings are going to be middling pocket pairs and suited connectors, things with massive multiway implied odds. You dont need to cbet against any of this on a high paired board. It'd be different if the flop was 223 in which you can get value from those overpairs, but it's JJx. Nothing worse is calling, QQ is a checkback. As played now you have to fold because he just has trips.

He just cold called twice so I doubt he’s got AA or KK. If he’s got a J or 77 why would he shove? Just let the obvious big pair continue to bet.

Smells like diamonds/combo draw to me.

I can see that being a possible thought process but among live players good and bad there is also:

"Gotta charge the draws" (there's a flush draw) and "I'll shove now before an action killing card comes out" and "if I shove they'd never believe I have a J bc most people would slowplay it"

As for AA/KK I agree it's less likely but still possible, after all the V called two raises, the 2nd one getting closer to pot commitment level.

Raising flop with trips is good if you think opponent cant lay down overpairs.

The two of you being unfamiliar with each other tips it to a fold for me. I do think he has (AKQT)d & TxTd a good part of the time though
