16% preflop raise (64 hands) 25% flop seen
After his check on the turn, I put him on QQ (not 100% sure but i think he will show me these most of the time)
Should I try to push all-in on the river? Is the K scary enough?

Bump. I know my post is very long to analyse. A response with only one hand analysed would still be very appreiciated.

[CaptUnlucky]

1) Don't 3bet flop. As played fold
2) Fold flop
3) Looks standard I think
4) 3bet pf.
5) Fold pf. As played, fine

If the turn would be overcard for these hands, how would u continue? What if its a small card? Ofcourse it depends of the opponents action, but say some thoughts.

[LuckyLuk_13]

1) Are you sure the call is the best move? I was hesitating more for the reraise (make a bigger one). I think a strong hand would raise me more or simply flat call. His play makes little sense. The all-in on the turn looks like a bluff to me. My impression is that he would have bet something like 20 if he really had a hand.

2) Once again, he bets a little too much (half his stack) to think he's got a higher pocket. I think he'd bet something like 5$ or 7$(its my view, correct me if im wrong). He might be only cbeting here.

4) Yeah, you are probably right on this one. I folded due to lack of information. How much would you have raised? As played, you check call? If bet and raised, you call and re evalueted?
