Q3s in the SB?
 

I thought this hand was a little tricky, maybe because I shouldn't have been in it in the first place. Is this complete bad? CO and Button are loose, CO will bet light, button may be passive but I'm not totally sure. I also feel like I played this badly other than the river and maybe the flop.


Should I have bet out on the turn?

Lots of people say playing suited cards like this in this situation is profitable. I'd rather fold PF &amp; save the good possibility of a difficult hand to play out of position.

You may be right, but I played it and I'd still like an opinion on the hand. This type of situation happens a lot in the BB also.

This is a tricky hand, but I like how you played it. I'm surprised to see any questions about the complete since its one I'd make everytime. The flop looks OK- I'd bet out if it was only 2 other players, but with 3 I'd like a better idea of how the other players feel about their hands before I put any money in. After the turn checks through and the river blanks, a river bet is the only way to go.

i dont see the point in betting into 3 players on turn. maybe CR the flop to gain some equity, but i think i play it about the same. i think there is value in the river bet.

i think it's fine. If you lost this hand somebody else misplayed it IMO.
