Default Some 4nl hands

All comments greatly appreciated.


I dont c-bet this flop as obviously it isn't a great one to do so, I check the river as i feel he folds to another bet and i want to give him a chance to bluff, his overbet just seals the deal for me.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.04 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($3.94)
Hero (SB) ($9.87)
BB ($2.34)
UTG ($5.25)
MP ($3.67)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A, Q
UTG calls $0.04, MP calls $0.04, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.20, 2 folds, MP calls $0.16

Flop: ($0.48) 7, 10, 6 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP checks

Turn: ($0.48) Q (2 players)
Hero bets $0.38, MP calls $0.38

River: ($1.24) 4 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP bets $1.24, Hero raises to $9.29 (All-In), MP calls $1.85 (All-In)

Total pot: $7.42 | Rake: $0.35

Results in white below:
Hero had A, Q (one pair, Queens).
MP mucked Q, K (one pair, Queens).
Outcome: Hero won $7.07




Is this a standard call on the turn or can i expect to be beaten more often than not?

At 4NL, I think both plays are ok, and really pretty standard. The first hand is a little more questionable b/c of the flop, but you are good there enough to make the play a good one.

first hand it seems like you lose a lot of equity to middling hands that have showdown value and would call a river bet, but will check behind

First hand you got really lucky he had a very strong queen and decided to bet so big. Most of his made-hand range here is much weaker queens, Tx, 8x, 7x combinations. Which he may or may not call a river bet but will surely check behind if you let him. Therefore I would much rather value bet and hope he calls.
