When greed overcomes your knowledge of poker

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: (7.25 SB) Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(4 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP3 calls, UTG+1 calls.

Well okay, cant complain here except if the next card coordinates the board even more I am probably in trouble.

Turn: (6.62 BB) J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(4 players) </font>
UTG+1 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP3 bets $2.62 (All-In)</font>, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, Hero calls.

Big pot, but a check raise on a board like this? And I call? Bad move, right? However if the board pairs I MAY have a nut boat.......Confused here...Some help guys

River: (11.93 BB) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(4 players, 1 all-in) </font>
<font color="CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, Hero calls.

Without a specific read, is this still a bad call? Not bad but horribe I mean /images/graemlins/frown.gif


Final Pot: 13.93 BB

Results in white below: <font color="white">
BB shows 2h 3h (high card, queen).
UTG+1 shows Td Ks (straight, king high).
Hero shows 9h 9s (three of a kind, nines).
MP3 shows 7c 8h (straight, queen high).
Outcome: UTG+1 wins 13.93 BB. </font>

Folding would be an even worse move, you know you have 10 outs so you gotta see the river. If you have a very very strong read on the villain you can fold the river, but I would most likely call it for one bet.

Yeah folding the turn wasnt an issue. Calling the river was. But its a large pot and I dont know oppnent so I called. Just felt violated after.....:(

[bakku]

lol, I'd call too but wouldn't expect to drag the pot. Don't worry about it, you played it fine.

Without a read its a close call. That board creates A LOT of two pair possiblities. I wasnt sure, but after looking at it I feel it was ok.

i think the hand was played fine...but where is the greed part?

Calling the turn is automatic. I'd call the river too expecting very much to lose. But you only have to win this play one outta 12 or so times to be ahead. Note: if there were two (non-all-in) opponents putting in bets at the river I then fold it.
