50NL QQ

[J.A.K.]

OK guys, I am trying to finally get serious about grinding out some cash games. I only recently purchased PT because I mainly play MTTs. So expect a lot of dumb (and basic strat)
questions. Was doing well until I tilted off 4 buy-ins between last night and this morning. Anyhoo, on to the hand.

Have not been at table long. I got lucky when another player overbet shoved a T high flop w/KK and I called w/ AT and hit my T. The only hand against villain was when I called a $2 raise and 2 callers with AsKd. Flop is 3 low diamonds, I float a weak c-bet and turn an Ax, call his turn bet and hit diamond on river. I bet he folds and says "lucky river" which I guess means he setted or 2 paired his A. Seemed pretty solid. So I guess my table image is "Lucky".

eeeewwww. BB is raising you (who raised an utg limper pf) with utg still to act. yucky yucky.

[relativity_x]

raise more preflop 2.5/3 with a limper.

flop is very tough. Were you cbetting a lot? I can see him doing this with an over pair/set here, but sometimes an aggressive 50 NL player will raise as this isn't a good flop to cbet(meaning he doesn't believe you). You're only move is to fold/push this. Really depends on what you think he has.

[J.A.K.]

I agree with more pre. I was not c-betting a ton. I GENERALLY do not c-bet with air into more than one opponent, which is frequently the case in 6 max. (Bad? Exploitable?)

Again, I am relatively new to cash so...could villain be semibluffing a FD/combo draw?

ignore the cards for a second and look at the situation

You're right, I limited my thinking to my hand and his range. I take it you are leaning towards a fold? And by the way, is this EVER TT-JJ? I'll continue the hand but waiting on a few more replies.

[derosnec]

i'm leaning towards a fold, but i don't know if it is one. hopefully, someone better at poker than me will chime in.
