Default I LOSE SO MUCH VALUE WITH QUADS

Villian ($300+) is like 21/17/4.5 and suspected 2p2er. Weve tangled some but havent really shown down anything too memorable.
Hero ($300) is 25/18/3

Hero has 3h3c
PF: Hero raises to 7, folds, villian in SB raises to 26, fold, hero calls

FLOP ($54): Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Villian bets 45, hero calls

TURN ($145): K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
villian thinks and checks, check

RIVER ($145): 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
villian checks, hero looks for a correct bet size


Also, raise flop, bet turn? This hand sucks on my part but I think the turn card killed a lot of potential action as Im pretty sure he has AA here a ton.

Are you always calling there preflop? Or just because of the 150bb stacks?

His raise is pretty large but having 150bb makes this a call.

I dont think this is always a raise on the flop. If hes going to stack off with AA/KK then he gets to further commit himself on the turn

I think it's okay sometimes to smooth-call a set on the flop against a TAG who's not gonna stack off light, but on a flop this drawy I think you really need to raise.

Anyway, I would just make a normal-ish bet on the river, like 100 or so. Against a weaker opponent I might overbet shove, expecting them to pay me off with a flush, but this guy probably won't fall for that.

Raise flop (to about 3-4 times his bet) - he looks to have a big PP and will likely shut down on an awful lot of turns (any spade, any broadway that doesn't give him a set) - ie like the one you got.

Check behind on turn is not great - it's looks a lot like a flush given the flat call on the flop. He's unlikely to have a made flush but he could have As, or at least a gutshot to the nut straight so giving a free card isn't great here either. A smallish bet that could be a bluff or AsQx would probably work better.

River is villain dependent - if he was any good, I'd probably go for slightly less than half pot in the hope of getting a crying call.

So wait, in a vacuum, do you think raising the flop here most of the time is not optimal?

I'm seriously confused, but then again, I bluff alot and have a superhigh flop aggro, so I guess it's only natural that I raise with my made hands on the flop like 99% of the time.

I think raising the flop is compulsory.

Given the raise out of the blinds he's way more likely to have a high PP than a strong A - and given the flop it's AA/KK twice as often as it is QQ/JJ. A flop raise does not scream set/flush draw anything like as much as a flat call and a check behind on this turn does.

KK/AA is very likely to 3-bet AI on the flop given the board texture, and very likely to give up on this turn (and many others like it). There are 9 spades, 3 Js, 3 Qs and either 4 Ts or 4 As = 19 cards on the turn which kill your action.

To me this looks like the perfect flop to raise. We hit our perfect flop and want to get the money in.

Is your reasoning that QQ and JJ are a large part of his range?
