[balkii]

10/20 pp

2 limps, I complete Qd7d, BB (28/12/2.8 after 30 hands?) raises, all call.

flop Qs 9c 6d

I check BB bets, 1 call, I C/R (yay/nay?), both call

turn 9d

I bet, BB raises, I call HU

river 8s

i check fold

This is a weak tight line, and it's especially ineffective against the BB you describe.

While I think the flop check/call is pretty terrible, the meat of this hand is the turn. BB may make this raise with a large range of hands, Qx and worse. You have top pair and a strong draw that wants to see a showdown. 3-betting the turn is excellent if BB will never cap, but I still think it's a strong play anyway, against an aggressive player. You can fold the river UI to a turn cap, and check behind a called 3-bet if you choose, and you will frequently improve.

If you're sure BB has 2 pair or better, your line is prescient. But I'm not convinced, and a 3-bet does wonders for your table image.

Well played.

reread the hand

I would be more inclined to bet the flop and hope for a field thinning raise, and get to showdown. Your line works, though.
