Who would play this hand different? Would be nice to hear how and why.

Thank you.

I raise more pf after the SB calls.

I bet more like 50 on the turn. If he calls the turn its a tricky spot.

I think check/call is better than leading out as it could induce a bluff bet all in. If you lead out an underpair is not likely to call but AA/quads/FH will.

[WhiteWolf]

On the river, stick it in yourself. There's a lot of hands he'll call with that he would much rather check behind, and you're only inducing bluffs from donkeys who don't understand you're not folding any legit hand with those pot odds.

If I do as you told, there will be nothing left that makes the spot tricky!
50$ on the turn would leave me with ~20$ =&gt; what`s tricky with a pot of 160$ and 20 dollar left in front of you ?!

[seano34]

Lol good point should have looked at stack sizes more closely

[Gesangsverein]

Thanks for your replies so far.
Any other thoughts ?

I put in around $9 preflop... Making it 7.50 to go is a pot-sized raise, but as we got two people who would like to stick around, we wanna get in more money preflop.

As said before, potting the turn on this board, which is most likely to have missed your opponents, effectively eliminates your river decision. When you bet the turn, you already committed to your hand by putting in more than half of your stack, so getting more money in early makes your life much, much easier.

I think you have played this near perfectly, your bet sizing is excellent. The only difference for me is that I would push the river because I dont want him to check behind with QQ.

QFT can't seen anything wrong here except river - if vilian will only stack off with strong hands deep then a case for a different line may be made but I like how you got him committed on every street and with 1/2 PSB by river.
