Did I play this OK? SB only has $9.50 more behind on the Turn - wouldn't have 3-bet it otherwise, but we're playing for stacks so why wait till the river. If he's ahead he's shoving the river and I'm priced in anyway.

Edit: reads on SB: loose/passive 61/2/0.9

I would fold this turn. Since we are playing for stacks like you say, it's not a minraise to 30$ he is doing here. He is bumping it up to 39.5$ infact, and I won't call 24.50$ on that turn. Not after he do 2 cold calls in a row then suddenly awakes on a pretty harmless turn.

You shouldn't post results, but I would have feared a set here or like in "best" case, QT.

Good point, I didn't take into account the fact he's effectively putting himself all-in, but on the other hand at the time it felt a bit weak-tight to be folding to a small raise here.

Do you think my flop and turn bets are too big, and I'm committing myself too much?

i think your bets are good, i just dont think the overshove is good ... u have control of the hand pf, flop, and turn, til he checkraises you taking back control. you have to figure hes got a big hand, youve shown some serious strength value betting after one player is all in, ud have to figure villain is a complete moron to try to bluff you out of this one.

Baluga theorem: Flop call and turn check-raise = 1 pair no good. It's only a minraise, but he's effectively putting in his whole stack. It's tough because you're getting good odds to stack off here, but a passive player like this usually has you crushed in this spot.

I used to stack off all the time here, then wondered where my win-rate went. When a guy with those stats check-raises your turn bet, you go from killing his range to being killed by his range. If he flat calls, I insta-push the river, but when he raises he's telling you he has a monster.
