What do we have?

[Nottom]

Paradise 3/6 game

Hand from last night, just thought I would toss it out and see what hands you can put us on.

Preflop:
Folded to me in UTG+2 and I open raise, player to my left (MP) coldcalls, folded to BB who calls.

Flop:
QJ8 (suits don't matter)

Checked to me and I bet, MP raises, BB coldcalls, I call.

Turn: Q (QJ8)

Checked to MP who bets, BB check-raises, I coldcall, MP folds

River is a blank

BB bets, I raise.


What did we have?

[Nottom]

He had 9Ts for the flopped nuts, I had pocket queens for the final nuts.

So how did we play?

[Inthacup]

You have JJ
BB has 9 10


There are several hands BB could have after playing this way, my second guess would be 88.

[Inthacup]

I didn't see your results when I posted. But I would suggest that in the future, wait 1 or 2 days before posting the results. It's not much fun when the results are in the next post.

You have QJs for the house.

BB has 9T for the staight.

[Joe Tall]

I think you played it fine. You had the BB trapped with your call on the turn and you could only hope the MP would call the BBs check-raise, because he sure wouldn't have called your check-re-raise.

I'm with Inthacup also, I didn't see your results but also recommend waiting a little while, poker players love suspense!

[Nottom]

I try and remember that for next time. [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

[Nottom]

Would I really raise QJs from EP?

[Inthacup]

You think he would would open raise with QJs UTG+2? That doesn't seem like a realistic option to me.

[Joe Tall]

ehh, good point. I missed the open-raise part while wondering what the Mp had...so what did the MP have? AK?
