View Full Version : Problems with Q,Q on Turn against nothing but action...

I am beginner, this is my second posting:

I played Q,Q against three opponents on turn. i cannot say anything about my contrahents, because I just started playing 5 minutes before this pot.

On turn I thought I had the best hand.But then came some action and i simply did not know, what to do... If I believe, that my hand is best, I have to raise. If I believe in the action of my opponents , I have to fold.

So I called, but have no idea, if this was OK...

Can someone tell me?

This is incorrect. This is far from being a raise/fold situation and your call is correct. Essentially, you're not sure where you stand, so neither raise nor fold.

I would bet the river. I doubt he's trying to c/r you twice.

Ya, call the turn and bet the river when he checks. I'll bet he had a five like A5, 65, 54, or 55 and he semibluff raised his OESD on the turn hoping to make you fold. Ya, that's the ticket.

Good idea!

But he had no 5, he had a Jack! (One jack)

Oh yeah, of course. A Jack would give him top pair so a checkraise could have meant that also.
I'm changing my awnser to 3bet the turn. Really, I'm changing my answer.

Edit: eh, a checkraise on the turn usually means the player can beat top pair (or it's a semi-bluff.) I'll go back to call the turn and bet the river. It's weird that he checked the river though. Maybe he was going for a second checkraise (not likely), or maybe he had a weak kicker and got scared when you called his checkraise (more likely.)

Just wanna point out, that this is often not true. Villain could easily be making this play with two pairs, and you would have outs to call.
