QJo hand for review
Hi All,
I've been lurking around here for a while trying to pick up all I could before I got started. Well, last night I finally took the plunge and played a few rounds. In all, it went well, but here's a hand I don't like at all looking back on it. Suggestions?
Party Poker 0.50/1 (10 handed)
Hero has Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and is EP1
UTG limps, Hero limps, EP2 limps, MP2 limps, MP3 limps, CO(poster) checks, Button limps, SB limps, BB checks
<font color="blue">(EP QJo and I put the money down. Probably my first mistake)</font>
Flop(9 SB): 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, EP2 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO raises, Button calls, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls, Hero 3-bets, EP2 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button calls, UTG calls
<font color="blue"> (I have top pair and no read on anyone (this is probably on my first orbit). I 3-bet to show I'm going to be an agressive player and to get information from the initial raiser. Bad idea? I figured that at this table, if I was sharing top pair, my kicker would have a good chance at winning.) </font>
Turn(16 BB): 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG checks, Hero bets, CO calls, Button folds, UTG calls
<font color="blue">(Not much to say here...) </font>
River(20 BB): K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG bets, Hero calls, CO calls
<font color="blue">(Take a guess what UTG had.)</font>
Results (in white): <font color="white">UTG has Ks 3h for high 2 pair. CO had Qs 9c. Both had me beat.</font>
