[25 NL] Q5o in BB flops 2 pair

[poker_n00b]

I am 8 tabling, so I have no good reads besides HUD stats. Villain is 70/0 over 40 hands and runs g00t.


My question concerns the flop 3-bet. Do you like it? (i.e. do you think it is a EV maximizing play in this spot?)

My thoughts were as follows. I am going to showdown. This guy will have tons of hands that I am ahead of (AQ, KQ, QJ, QT, KK, AA), so let's vbet the hell out of him. The times that I am behind are offset by the times that I am behind.

After the session, I calculated that I am 4 times ahead vs 1 time behind on this flop vs his range as I perceive it.

Heh, typo obv. but take QT out of your "hands that you beat."

Min raise from villain could easily mean a flush draw too, I like the 3bet and I'd probably be willing to get it all-in on this flop vs. this opponent.

yea i think the 3bet is def the best option on the flop. This guy is probably still callin here w/ Qx hands and this board is pretty drawy soo we need to raise for protection since i think draws are a good portion of villian's range as well.
