Still having problems converter.

I have raised 2 or 3 times at this table UTG to 4x BB and everyone folds. (Yes, I have been getting some good cards! ) But overall I have been playing a fairly aggressive style, CBs, most times I open the pot I raise, etc…

I have $10.90, SB has me covered with $17.

I am UTG with QQ. I raise to 3xBB and it folds to SB, very laggy, VP$P is 45, TA is something over 50. SB calls, BB folds.

Flop is J94, rainbow. Pot is .70

SB Bets .70, I decide to raise it up to 2.80 he calls.

Turn is . No flush draw. Pot $6.30

He checks. I was going to check, but it seemed to me that he was betting and calling with something, not just overcards. I put him on Ax, and he paired the board. I think he would have raised me with AA, KK, or AK. A set is also a possibility, and of course, KJ. He could also have some BS hand, and figure I have nothing, and he needs to teach me a lesson.

Anyway, I decided that I probably needed to bet this, or I might be folding the best hand on the river. I bet $4.

Weak bet, I know… In retrospect I think I should have pushed. The $4 bet left me pot committed, I only have 3.8 behind, and if he puts me in, it’s $3.80 into a $22 pot. So I have to call, right? Anyway, that’s what we did. He put me in and I called.

So how badly did I play this hand?

Thanks

Dave

I would raise more than 3x BB preflop, pop it up to around 6x. As played, I agree with above, if you are willing to play for it all, the weak turn bet is a good set-up to get it all in the middle.
