UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Should I bet the river for value?

I would not, a lesser hand is not calling this river bet. I see typical Party 2-4, and UTG has some A3o junk.

Hmmm... I'm not sure, since he bet out on the flop after Hero's PF raise. This says to me he connected with the 7 or 5. If he had an ace kicker, he would have raised the turn (probably).

I think I would value bet this, folding to a raise without hesitation.

Though I admit it is close and you may be right.

I don't see a reason why you'd bet it. What else would call you down to the river besides a PP?

Re: QQ with both overcards - Value-bet the river?
 

GM, you're pulling a "me".. (I routinely misread hands) BB bet out on the flop, and then folded to the turn. UTG+1 is sticking around, and I'm not likely to put him just on a rag club draw with no King or Ace...and if he is he's just going to fold. So there is no point in betting this.

Re: QQ with both overcards - Value-bet the river?
 

I think BB calls a lot on the river probably with a 7, 5 or PP, especially since he bet the flop. I would definitely bet the river in this situation against the average 2/4 palyer. I really think you'd show a profit in the long run.

I would check behind on this river. If the flush didn't get there I would probably bet.
