Re: QQ in MP, bad turn
 

I would bet here. I wouldn't be able to put him on big cards becasue he limped/called (maybe suited low connectors or low pair?). If you get raised, i would call and then check/call the river to be safe.

Re: QQ in MP, bad turn
 

I bet/fold the turn, planning to check behind on the river no matter what falls.

I'd be tempted to bet an offsuit J.

I thought about it, but if an offsuit J falls, I bet and get c/r, I have to call, and I don't think I win against a river c/r here too often. But I'm open to being convinced otherwise.

Re: QQ in MP, bad turn
 

If you could define a few various opponents that would help a little. But I'm bet/folding to a c/r vs. most anyone on the turn. I'm also folding to a river donk unless it's a non heart J. I don't see a need to bet the river on any card except the J.

Few villains are sophisticated enough to slowplay a turn flush -> c/r the river, so I think a bet is fine if you hit that nonheart J.

Re: QQ in MP, bad turn
 

i don't think we're folding a better hand with a turn bet, and i'd like to hope for a J on the river seeing as he might be donking a K.

i check behind because i don't see much value in betting.

Re: QQ in MP, bad turn
 

I think we very often fold a weak K here, since we're representing both a flush and an A. It's definately a possibility.

Re: QQ in MP, bad turn
 

Bump because this is an interesting turn decision IMO.

Re: QQ in MP, bad turn
 

i'm weak and I check the turn. I see us getting c/r a lot. I guess there's merit to bet/fold then.
