Default Re: QQ OOP vs loose-ish table (attn: -Skeme-)

Betting out I think was the best action, though I would likely be paying off on the turn. Not to be results oriented, but I would have lost a lot more had I played more aggressively. I might have even been pushed off if an ace fell on the turn.

How is this not results oriented? If you KNEW on the flop that villain had 99, would you NOT want to be all-in with him?

Of course it costs a lot when you are out drawn. But the way you played it, it still costs a lot when you are outdrawn AND you don't make very much money the 2/3rds of the time your hand is good to make up for it (again, vs. OESD and/or flush draws. Obviously on many flops your sets are good much better than 2/3 of the time).

If you're not willing to go to war with your sets, you're bleeding money. Your opponents get to clean up with you when they hit their big hands, but you get nothing from them with yours.
