a Q3o story

stripsqueez · #1 03-01-2005, 02:27 AM

first round of a $100+$9 - about hand 4

i get Q3o in the SB and spend T5 to complete after 3 limpers - the BB checks

flop is Q J 3 rainbow - i bet T60 and only the first limper calls

turn is a 4 - i bet T100 and other guy calls

river is a 7 - i bet T100 and other guy pushes

i started the hand with T985 and will have around T120 left if i call and lose

Either QJ, a (rivered?) set, some random Q or absolutely nothing.

Eh, you have pot odds.

I would probably fold the river but I hate it.

I ain't sayin' nothin'

<font color="white">This is why I muck this crap in the SB. He flopped 2 pair, led the action all the way down and still didn't like his hand when he got put all in. For every argument I've had about why I fold crap in the small blind for t5, this proves why. Thank you for posting this hand to confirm that the way I play is correct.</font>

I have no problem folding Q3o in the SB. I also don't have a problem calling (although I generally fold.)

for T5 i think call is auto - assuming you can play post flop...

I would have bet more on the turn and especially the river. As it is your betting looks pretty weak.

Given how it played out - either its a blatant steal with T9 or something, or he's been slowplaying you the whole way with QJ or a set. I think it's unlikely the 7 hit him and if it did Q7 and 77 are likely suspects. I don't like your odds that it's a pure steal, so I'd fold. You'll still have 710 which isn't bad.

with 2pair on a raimbow flop, why is it better to bet out instead of check/call or check/raise?

Because the rainbow flop is QJ3 and AQ, KQ and QJ all limp in the $109's on a regular basis, while there's no way on the planet any of them put you on Q3o.
