I have no clue what I was thinking here... all I had was the overpair, and no draws. Bad thing is, I knew it was stupid when I did it.....

Sometimes my own idiocy amazes me. This is going to embarrass the hell outta me to put this up, but maybe some humiliation will stop me from making plays like a drooling retard.

You obviously don't need any input on this hand. The Preflop call by MP3 is debatable, but otherwise, you have a pair of queens. That's it. On a fairly highly coordinated board. He didn't even have to have trips, what hand is going to reraise you on this board? AA,KK a set, or the flopped straight. The flush will probably just call, maybe? I don't think there is even enough money to be made on people that will call you with a lower PP like JJ or TT since the board is so coordinated. His Reraise should tell you to just forget about the $17, tuck your dick behind your legs and just crawl into a corner... just my thoughts...

Well, my dick's far between my legs now, and I learned another important lesson....

Quit being a freaking idiot when you've been playing good all night.

Played for 2 hours here, and was pretty happy with my play until this hand.... back to the woodshed and a self-beating(no dick involved, thank you very much).

well it's only a 40 dollar rr i think QQ is good lol. get a clue. Anytime u encounter a big raise after the flop with a overpair or a good check raise i'd fold against all but big bluffers and maniacs. Bet big on the flop and fold to a good raise.

This reminds me of hand I had on Sunday. A,K. I raised and was called by one player before me and one after. A,7,3 on the flop. A $3 bet to me. I raise to $10. Next player folds and original better re-raises me to $30. It ends up all-in.

I raised to figure out where I was. When I found out I was behind, I still called. I still don't know what the hell I was thinking.

He turns over 7,7 for the flopped set. I guess I'm stupid, too.

yea just raise for into to see if he truly has you beat or he is trying sort of strange steal, then fold if he reraises back, and think about it if he calls. the only tough decision would be what to do when he calls, but still thats not the hardest thing in the world to decide.

PS if you want to save 2 or 3 dollars i usually jsut raise to 15, does the same thing as 17.
