    So ive been grinding on my $200 stack for about an hour and im roughly even.

    Folds to co who limps

    I raise OTB to 12 with QdQs
    SB - loose player calls
    BB - Young lag calls
    co - folds

    Flop 8h 8x 6h

    SB checks BB leads for 20

    Spot 1: Read is he obv has a draw or hit the flop. I feel that leading an 8 is in his range however not 86, 88 or 66. He also just doubled someone up so he was on tilt and defending his blind lightly. SB seemed to be goofing around on his PF call.

    I call SB calls.

    Turn 10h.

    Spot 2: SB checks BB checks. At this point I know the heart is a scare card, and at least 1 of them is drawing, and it is now very likely the BB had a 6. Check or bet?

    I bet 50 SB folds BB calls.

    River: Qc

    Sick life! BB checks I shove 120ish he folds and flashes an 8 :/
    What do you think about the 2 spots. Std or did i misplay? Also fwiw this was at 4 am in the morning on a friday.

    I think raising on the flop would be better. Your hand is vulnerable and you should be protecting against draws and getting value from worse PP's. Betting the turn is turning your hand into a bluff since I think you have to fold to a raise. As played the river is an obvious shove, ul he folded.
