Queens in a raised pot preflop with a lot of callers
I was looking for comments on whether I played these Queens correctly.
MP3 was a short stack that had just doubled and was continuing to play very aggresive. I was hoping to take him out with my queens. PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) converter MP3 (t695) Hero (t1355) Button (t2520) SB (t1205) BB (t2170) UTG (t1945) UTG+1 (t1160) MP1 (t1300) MP2 (t1150) Preflop: Hero is CO with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t50, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises to t100</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t250</font>, Button calls t250, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls t200, UTG+1 calls t200, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises to t695</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1355</font>, Button calls t1105, BB folds, UTG+1 calls t910 (All-In). Flop: (t4840) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players, 1 all-in)</font> Turn: (t4840) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players, 1 all-in)</font> River: (t4840) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players, 1 all-in)</font> Final Pot: t4840 Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF"> UTG+1 has Qs Kc (two pair, kings and threes). MP3 has 7c Ac (one pair, threes). Hero has Qh Qd (two pair, queens and threes). Button has 4s 4c (two pair, fours and threes). Outcome: UTG+1 wins t3055. Hero wins t390. </font> Fortunately I was able to recover,rebuild and get ITM but I felt I made two mistakes that got me in trouble in this hand. While I reraised Mp3 to provoke him to going all in, I think I got too cute and didn't reraise enough to keep other players out of the hand. Then I felt I made another mistake going all in. I felt I still had the best hand at that point, and thought I could force the other two out, but I'm wondering instead if I just overexposed myself needlessly. Even if KK or AA wasnt out there, dragging four players in makes me less likely to win with my Queens, and once I went all in I was at the mercy of the cards, whereas if I had just called Mp3's all in I could have gotten out of an unfavorable flop and kept some of my stack. |

Re: Queens in a raised pot preflop with a lot of callers
Pretty standard IMO. Unfortunately Button and UTG+1 were idiots calling your reraise with MP3 - ESPECIALLY with others still to act. 3rd & 4th pile on is just......uhboy.
Perhaps a bit of hindsight, but I would have reraised all-in the first time around. Even if the others had folded to your original riase, I see no reason to take QQ to the flop. Your intent was to take on MP3. You got the raise from him...let it rip. |
