To be precise, I only called two small bets on the flop. The bring-in is $2, the straddler made it $4, and the raiser made it a total of $8. Still, calling 2SB pre-flop with JTs can be debated.


The flop bet is the one I like the most. I wasn't trying to win the pot there. I was attempting to be checked to on the turn so I could take my "free" card on the expensive street. If a blank had come on the turn, that's exactly what I would have done. Unfortunately, another Queen came and I decided to get creative with my weak drawing hand.
