This hand bugged me alot when it first happened. Looking back I think I made the right play, it just didn't work out in my favor.
$1-$2 pot limit on Ultimate Bet Amounts are rounded for simplicity.
Stack sizes:
BB-400
UTG-200
next-75
me-200
UTG calls $2, next makes it $4, I make it $15 with QQ. All fold to BB who calls, as do the other two. 4 handed/$60 pot.
Flop is 5 8 10 rainbow.
BB bets pot, $60. (My thoughts as soon as he bet were to raise the pot when it gets to me.) However, UTG calls, next raises all-in for just a few dollars more. (My first thought now was still to raise all-in. My next thought was...I must be beat, probably by a set as I don't fear a higher pocket pair since I didn't get re-raised before the flop.) I decided to just call the $60 and try to spike a Queen.
Turn is a 6 making the board 5 8 10 6 four suits.
BB Bets $240. UTG Calls $115 all-in! (Ok...there is no flush draw, did somebody play 47 or 79 for $15 before the flop? Probably not but it feels like I'm beat in at least one spot. It's $130 to me to call and I muck.
River is a rag and the BB wins with JJ. The UTG had 9 10 and the other guy had 89.
Maybe I should have seen this coming, but I honestly felt like I was saving money not getting married to my overpair. All comments welcome.
