I think his tp hands and overpairs he would play on this flop agressiv so his range is almost all bluffs.lucky for me he checks behind. what you think about the hand and my thoughtprocess?
Well I looked at the hand and thought it was fairly standard as I thought you were in position, but then I noticed you were not.I think the problem is that you are oop with not a great hand. It just always going to be hard playing a hand like that oop.Even 6X is doing well against you.So it is always going to end up messy like that.A check raise apears stronger than a donk and is more likely to get folds. In this case I think a good size check raise would of induced his open ender with a back door flush to shove and you woiuld of been in good shape. But a lot of his shoving range is doing pretty good against your pair with an open ender.A donk appears weak to many and he will float with overcards that whilst don't have better equity than you they are more likely to take down the pot since you are oop. It would of been hard to call a bet/raise on the Q and the A whilst oop with pocket 5s.By leading you took away the initiave of the button, so maybe you could of betted less to see your draws cheaper? Maybe donk half pot then lead turn half pot and save some chips? Also gets value from smaller pairs.
According to pokerstove if you assume villian opens approx 70% of hands then you have about 70% equity against his range.4,749,030 games 0.234 secs 20,295,000 games/sec Board: 6s 3s 4cDead: Hand 0: 30.742% 29.31% 01.43% 1391822 68124.50 { 22+, A2s+, K2s+, Q2s+, J2s+, T2s+, 93s+, 84s+, 74s+, 63s+, 53s+, 43s, A2o+, K2o+, Q3o+, J5o+, T6o+, 96o+, 86o+, 76o } Hand 1: 69.258% 67.82% 01.43% 3220959 68124.50 { 55 } Check/shove or a biggish check/raise in my opinion as this hand will get progressively harder to pay on most turn and river cards.Also a bonus if it gets checked all the way down. 222

You'd need to analyze his shoving range and make some assumptions about his check raising range, calculate the fold equity to really determine if a check raise is better than a lead here.I do like your thought process with the lead, but off hand I honestly can't say if a check raise is better in this particular spot. I really suspect that the lead is a better play and once you do lead I really like your turn and river thought process here, particularly the turn spot, which many players will get too passive on and miss some clear value.I say good hand, but take the time to analyze the flop check raise, it'll give you a good feel for similar situations in the future. My experience is really telling me that your lead is better here, especially with so many unknown variables and no clear massive upside to me (I think leading and playing the turn and river with that thought process is a pretty strong and profitable way to play this hand).
