Hand review request: JJ's got me hooked

Might be the first time ever im gonna say i think someone raised too LARGE preflop. You got exactly 1 caller, which is the goal, so cant beat you up too much, but id probably go $15-18. Also, if your sizing was affected by your hand, dont do that. First decide what sizing makes the most sense for the situation, then decide whether to raise with the hand you have (your range should be a bit tighter the larger you think you should raise)

Flop im fine with a checkback, not because we cant get value, but mostly because we arent scared of many turn cards, so id be intending to bet on non a/k turn if they check. Id be betting 99 or A8 here.

Surely button isn't checking to you when he's on the button and you act first, right?

I think $15 or check are fine on the flop.

Who’s in position? Agree with Mlark.

Wow you’re right. Can’t believe I typed that. Need to correct.

I can edit the OP. I presume your first info is correct and you're in the SB?

If you're in the SB, you're first to act. Since it's heads up I'm betting around 25. He should have a lot of PP's (pocket pairs) in his button calling range as well as Ax hands, Axs (suited) hands and other stuff besides Qx.

Standard is like 25pc to 33pc pot on this board with all your cbets. This is a cbet for sure

If we're first to act, I'm checking to V. I'm calling if he bets, and checking to him again on turn.

If he's first to act, and he checks to us, I'm usually betting around 1/2 pot when heads-up, but the pre-flop raise size was so huge here, I might size down to like 30% or 1/3 pot, so maybe like $15 or $18.

The board is super dry, either check or bet is fine here. The initial raise size is huge but whatever. I'd go for around a $15-$20 bet and do the same with all queens.

I've played 1/2 before. At 18-20 he probably gets 5 callers. 😀

What you need to do here is discuss your thought process in a pot. What's the pot size? How much would you have left? What's your tolerance of risk?

You entered the hand with a short stack and at 1-2 the raises are more like a 2-3 game, so it really matters to be deeper.

In terms of the hand, it's a dry board. You can try to keep him in there and just check if you're ok with the risk.

If you raise, the pot is ~$60 and you have $168 left. If you raise really large, like say $50, then on the turn you'll have only $118 left and the pot will be $160 and it will be hard to fold.

I'd try to raise, say $35, to fish out an AK, KQ or set and likely get a fold from a lot of hands that didn't connect.
