I don't usually defend from SB but button was doing it pretty often.

Preflop is standard. Well, it is for me.

I checkraise the flop. I checkraise everything though.

As played I like the turn.

River is an easy check/fold IMO.

Hands that would fold to a bet:

KQ - raises the turn.
89 - raises the flop.

That's about it. He *might* have AJ which you can fold out, but I think you are looking at a full house here a large % of the time.

First off, you should always be calling with this from the SB, it's a very good hand and it's not close to a fold no matter who the button is.

The flop's pretty dependent on the button. If he's aggressive, you can go for a check/raise, but I think the standard line here is to lead for the size of the pot. As long as that's how you'd play a set, I like it.

The turn I'd also bet the size of the pot. You don't want to do anything to show weakness and tempt villain to come over the top. Your flop action reps the low straight so just let villain know you've improved as it's very unlikely he actually hit the better straight with you having 2 queen blockers. Also, you'll be winning the pot on most rivers, so you'd like to bet for value as well.

The river card sucks, it's time to check/fold. An offsuit jack or ten were the worst cards in the deck for you as you almost have to be up against a set at this point. If a flush card comes, you have the nuts, and if a blank comes, you have an easy bluffing opportunity, but now you're stuck and you have to give up the pot.

pf is an easy call, if you're folding this hand pretty much ever it's too tight

i like the way you played the flop and turn

river is an easy c/f, you led the flop and turn and got called twice, it's hard to see what you can beat here...if he had second pair with a draw, he's made trips, if he had you beat already he's probably not folding
