T9s in BB vs. Live Straddler

[Chris Daddy Cool]

4/8 B&M

Player to my direct left (UTG) is actually a very tight solid player, but felt bored from folding all afternoon. I've been folding just as many times as he has, so he decides to mess with my blinds by live straddling. Table is very passive and folds all the way around. I'm in the BB and look at my cards and see T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I raise. He reraises without looking at his cards yet and I call.

FLOP: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I bet. He looks at his cards now and thinks for a second and raises. I immediately 3bet and he caps.

TURN: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet. He raises. I 3bet. (?) He caps.

RIVER: T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I check/call.

He shows queens up and takes down the pot.
Anybody play it differntly?

If he's solid and not overaggro I wouldn't have 3-bet the turn. But aside from that I don't think you overplayed the hand, considering it was headsup.

Hey Chris,

3-betting the turn is extremely bad. Even your betting the turn makes me shake my head a little. Check-call next time, and check-raise the river if you hit your flush, bet if you hit your 9. Otherwise, check-call there as well.
