too aggressive? 4way 3/6
 

I just sat down and have only played a few rounds. My overall impression is that my three opponents are way too passive for a 4-handed game.

I start the hand with 709, BB starts with 326.

I raise to 21 with QJo. BB calls.

pot = $48

BB checks, I bet 48, BB calls. I'm ready to shut down unless a nice card comes. At this point, I don't know the table or opponent well enough to know how I can or can't bully him. I don't know how he plays draws, etc.

pot = 144

He checks, I bet 144. He calls.

This is where I get lost. I decided I don't want to give any cards here, but I'd also like to see a showdown now. What the line? Also, if you think I should bet, do I need to push in this situation? Or is any big bet in this situation -EV?

pot = ~375

River

He checks, I bet, he calls.

I've been playing some wild lines lately, and I need to know if this hand is overall too fast.

Thanks for all your help.

turn bet is fine, you fold to a check-raise anyway. River is interesting if you bet, what hands do you think call the river bet? If he isn't going to call with AT or something, then don't bet.

I put him on a decent T or a busted draw of some kind. I thought that if I stayed aggressive, he might not give me credit and make a "tough" call. Also, I reasoned that if I bet out and was beaten, then it was good advertising that would only cost me another $130.

For me, these marginal heads-up hands OOP are the hardest to play well.

Not that it matters, but he had T9 with no clubs. I was only mildly suprised. I see all kinds of wonky stuff at UB 3/6. Some play is really strong, and some is horrid.

why bet river? i cant possibly see villain calling here. i either push river hoping villain folds a better hand or just check.
