Re: QQ overpair hand - $200 NL
[ QUOTE ]
My reasoning for checking the turn is that with the queen of clubs in my hand, getting raised is just nasty. Without the queen of clubs my standard line would be to bet, bet, snap bluff.
I'm assuming that everyone who advocates betting the turn, similarly advocates folding to a raise. Playing a 300+BB hand with QQ here doesn't sound like fun.
Chances are pretty good that I have both the best hand AND the best draw so not a lot of harm in checking. It's also doubtful that I have NEITHER the best hand NOR the best draw.. making the prospect of bet/folding the turn just ugly.
On the river, I'm electing to get value from a ton of pairs that will look me up. Obviously I can't fold to the min-raise.

Said the guy who lost the hand. Check/call river is better.
