View Full Version : yet another UTG QQ hand


11-08-2005, 02:06 AM
about 180 of 950 left, UTG+1(big stack) has been limping when folded to, and cutting off most raises. CO is new to the table. SB has been limp/call/fold, in that order, for most hands.

critique? thoughts... etc?
I am not going to mention buy-in. I am more interested in good play regardless of stakes.

I think this is about the best line you can take. With 5 people seeing the flop, the pot has gotten rather big already, so drawing hands are probably here for the duration. Obviously, 2 pairs, sets, or straights arent going anywhere. Do what you can to get the drawing chips in the middle, and hope the ladies hold up (or catch up).
