€5/€5 NL Live, €1000 stacks. Spewy?

[Baas]

This hand took place at our local casino at 5/5 blinds with 1000 euro effective stacks. Villain and I have played each other online a bit in the past, and my perception of him is that he's a good semitight-agro player that can definitely make creative plays. His perception of me is probably that I'm a reasonable tight-agro internet player, but a bit ABC.

Game is 10-handed.

Villain calls UTG for e5.
Hero raises from MP to e30 with QJo.
Button calls e30, SB calls e30, Villain calls e30.

flop Q95 rainbow (e125)

SB checks, villain checks, Hero bets e80.
Button folds, SB folds, villain raises to e200, hero calls for e120.

Turn comes an offsuit 7. Villain bets e300. Hero is all-in for e770.

My thoughts on this hand:
Villain doesn't have QQ or 99 because he would have raised pre-flop. Q9s-Q5s-95s are folds for him UTG. He could have 55, but I think he would either raise me bigger, or just smoothcall. JTs is a possibility. I think villain puts me on a top pair hand, and is making a move, because he knows that I couldn't have hit this flop big, unless I have a set. I push and not just call because I don't want to face an e400 allin on the river if an 8 or K comes. Besides, not many players would fire in another e400 into e1100 with a complete bluff.

yet another hand where poor preflop playe makes post flop hard. BTW, WHY DID THIS GET MOVED FROM HIGH STAKES TO MEDIUM? APPARANTLY THE MODS IN HS DONT KNOW ABOUT THE AMERICAN PESO.

What is the difference between AQ or even AA and JQ in this hand? I don't see how the debatable preflop play affects postflop here.

difference is aq and aa see a flop, jq doesnt. ask yourself what sort of hands are gonna call behind you when you raise w/ jq, can you call a rr, are you just trying to steal the blinds? your gonna fold out the hands you want to call and play short oop w/ hands you want to fold. and if this was a pf steal it was really ill advised

[Torello]

I would think Villain could have 55, 99, AQ, KQ, QJ, JT, maybe Q9s, or AK/small pair. I don't have pokerstove.

[berserk]

fold flop

[captainwacky]

why could he never have 99 or Q9s... even semi-tight people can decide to call a raise with that and not 3 bet 99.

[Torello]

I stoved it, worst case scenario where Villain's range is all hands beating you except QQ Q5 95 68, plus JT. This puts your equity at 32%. And you only need 37% to commit the rest of your chips. Add in any other hands that you beat and your equity goes way up.

It's marginal but not spewy.
