Default Re: NL50 QQ .. did I hit the turn or not?

That is something you need to get over really fast. NL is all about playing big pots. Most of your profit will come from winning those.

I tend to raise smaller here when I'm out of position, but you're probably right again.

That is exactly opposite of the correct strategy for OOP play. You are giving your opponents a bigger edge on every round you play OOP. You want to take this pot down as quickly as possible. I would re-raise to about $5, but $7 would not be a horrible play.

I would bet the turn. If you are behind a straight, you have 10 outs. You will make good money from someone with 2 pair, unless the king hits on the river. A loose player with 1 pair may call here as well. I personally would not be completely afraid of committing all my chips here if I think I can get two people to come with me.
