1/2 paradise, finally got my computer working.. sorta.. it crashes every 30 minutes or so for no reason.. Anyways..


2 limpers to me in the SB with QcQh, I raise, BB calls, the rest call.


Flop: Td 9c 3h


I bet, BB & MP call, button raises, I 3 bet, BB calls 2, MP folds and the button calls.


Turn: Qs


I bet, BB raises, button folds. Now what? Results down.

I 3 bet.. but obviously not happy about it. The BB capped, of course, and I paid him off like a little b---- when the river bricked. Anyone play this any different? I don't mind the beat of course but I think I just played it badly.

What did he have J-8?


You've got top set on a rainbow board with the only open ended straight being a two-gapper. I would have 3-bet the turn gladly. Even when he capped it you've got 10 outs to beeat a straight.


I think it's a no-brainer to 3-bet the turn.

I would 3-bet the turn every time. Your opponent is far more likely to have something like Q-T thereby turning the top two pair then to have taken all that heat with K-J or call a raise from his big blind with J-8. Even when he has one of these holdings, you have 10 outs to fill anyway.
