Applying what I've learned

[Henke]

Instead of being dominated (as with the two QJ) I'm trying to be the dominator instead. Thanks all who replied to my last post. I would like to hear what you think of this play (especially flop-turn and river).


Party Poker 0.50/1 (10 handed)
Hero has Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and is MP1

UTG limps, Hero raises, MP3 calls, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds, UTG calls

Flop(9 SB): A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, MP3 raises, SB calls, UTG calls(all-in), Hero 3-bets, MP3 calls, SB calls
Nice flop! Is the 3-bet here OK, or should I wait for the turn to check-raise?

Turn(10 BB): K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

SB checks, Hero checks, MP3 checks
[i] Ouch! Scare card! Should I have bet out to charge the maximum of those hands with one [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]?

River(10 BB): 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

SB checks, Hero bets, MP3 calls, SB folds
Would it be wrong to check-call here?

With a 2 flush flop I prefer to 3-bet the flop if I'm raised. Because he might be raising his flush draw in a attempt to get a free card on the turn. In addition if the diamond falls on the turn you might not want to CR and if your opponent has Ax he probably won't bet.

I would have bet the turn and river.

You played it very well up until the Turn. You MUST bet here! What makes you think somebody's on a flush draw? Just because one is possbile in a multiway pot, doesn't mean somebody has one. You just gave any one with a singleton diamond or a Jack or Ten a free card to beat your monster hand. Next time, when you flop top two pair on that board, don't look at the turn card. JUST BET.

Zoo'ers are always good for a little donation for the sake of nostalgia. Don't expect to understand their play.

The 3-bet is a must, you must charge/drive the single diamond suck-out hands out.

Bet the turn, just be wary of a check-raise or raise.

Stick around, you've come to the right place,

Bet the turn. You can't give a crappy diamond or gutshot straight draw a free shot to beat you.

SB cold called two bets on the flop, but then again, this is .5-1, so maybe I shouldn't put too much value in that...

And if I'm raised, call-check-call?

Thanks again all for your answers!

What would you guys have done if he had bet the turn and was raised? call-check-call? or do you play back at him and see if he caps? (if he does, do you fold right there?, if he doesnt do you bet out the river?)
