Is this a big fat leak in my game?

Not 3-betting the flop after a raise and coldcaller when I don't have top kicker . . .

Doesn't look like a leak. I think 3 betting the flop is reasonable, but not necessary. If he caps and leads the turn i think a laydown is easy.

Maybe the bigger leak is that you don't have a read on the big blind, which is a very important factor in 6-max games. I think the flop call is fine as there are many turn cards that will be difficult for you to play out of position, but I would strongly consider checkraising the turn blank. I would lean towards a checkraise against an unkown big blind, but which turn line is best is much clearer if you have a read on the big blind.

I don't care for the preflop play either, but it is not a big leak.

[Grisgra]

Not really a leak to not have a read on the big blind at that point, but I agree that it would be good to have. I'll consider checkraising the turn next time.

Preflop, the call was super-marginal -- I usually don't play Q9o on the button, and even if I'm going to play it I might have done better to raise it. (If I'm going to be loose, I might as well be loose-aggressive.)

I would 3bet the flop, as too many cards can prevent me from CRing the turn.
I limp complete this after one limper, but need QT or JT usually after two.

[Nikla]

I limp it pre no matter how many people see flop. I would 3-bet this flop every single time. Mainly because I think I have the best hand but also because the rest of the hand is easier to play if u make it 3 on flop.

Gee I thought Q9o was an autocomplete for everyone everytime and I thought I played fairly tight in the SB. I might be more hesitant in a 1/3 blind structure but still....
