Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP2 (t1170)
MP3 (t605)
CO (t1275)
Button (t985)
SB (t2240)
Hero (t970)
UTG (t990)
UTG+1 (t875)
MP1 (t890)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, CO calls t30, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t120</font>, CO calls t90, SB folds.

Flop: (t270) 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets t125</font>, Hero calls t125.

Turn: (t520) T/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets t175</font>, CO folds.

Final Pot: t695

Did I get enough out of this hand? Did I protect it correctly on the turn by going all-in?

Flop: Checking could have cost me a chance to bet, but since I raised from the BB, I believe I made it look like a semi-steal that missed. Am I better off making a half pot-size bet and risking he folds?

Turn: I would have liked to get more out of him but at this point I'm afraid of two spades or single J, 8, K or some sort of combo draw. If he had a smaller set, two pair, TPTK, then of course I love for him to stick around. I had conceded that if he had KJ or J8 I was dead and gone, unable to get away from this hand (and hoping the board pairs or gives me the last Q).


As ever, thanks for your input.

looks good to me...although I MAY have mini raised the flop...but argument to be made for either way

You're missing something here on the turn. Either that, or CO bet and folded on the same turn.

I went all-in on the turn. The converter dropped that for some reason. Not sure why. My remaining stack was slightly bigger than the pot so I pushed.
