KQ is the only better Q

[/ QUOTE ]

Isn't this an argument for betting?

[/ QUOTE ]

No. It's an argument for checking. KQ is the only holding villain can have where betting might get a better hand to fold -- whereas with any other holding he will probably fold the hands Brian beats and call with hands that beat Brian.

no A or 2-pair hand is folding

wtf?

[/ QUOTE ]

No ace or 2-pair hand is folding. You can't be that illiterate, can you? (Hint: a pair of aces beats a pair of queens in poker hand rankings. Two pair beats one pair..

Worse Qs might not even call a bet

I fail to see why this would be true.

They have second pair with a bad kicker. Brian raised the turn. They failed to improve on the river to trips or 2 pair. They want to save money and fold because they have the worst hand. Is it so inconceivable that a player *might* fold second pair with a bad kicker? (Of course some players will call, but not all of them). Have you ever played limit holdem? In a live setting?
