The small blind betting out the turn really sucks. I think I probably would have folded it there, rather then get trapped in-between.

Why did you bet the river?

[blackaces13]

How can you bet this river??? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

I can sympathize with the turn call although that would be the spot to fold unless the button was a maniac.

Its hard to let go of AK when an A or K hits but learning to do so when someone is practically screaming they have you beat is a valuable skill.

[Greg J]

both good points.

I should not have bet the river, esp when i suspected a queen.

as for not folding -- i thought i was getting good pot odds.

[cold_cash]

If you're behind to a Queen you only have the two remaining Kings as outs.

When the SB bets out on that turn after being 3 bet on the flop consider your hand not coming back. You can try for your 2 outter full house which you don't have odds. You are either losing to a queen or flush by this point. Just fold after a bet. And when you did get to river...don't ever bet after that much action with just a pair.
