QQ OOP, how would you play it?
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx
MP2 is a LAG. PT is showing 31.93%/21.96%/3.13/14.81% (VP$IP/PFR/Post Flop agg factor/WtSD) The previous hand I watched MP2 raise with QTo, fire a pot sized bet at a flop of rags. Fire another pot size bet on a missed turn. Check call a 1/2 pot bet on the river to show Q high. MP2 ($111.15) MP3 ($94.50) CO ($147.56) Button ($211.90) SB ($119.17) BB ($100) UTG ($98.84) Hero ($127) UTG+2 ($83) MP1 ($97.50) Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls $4, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls $4, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>. Flop: ($13.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets $12</font>, Button folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $24</font>, MP2 calls $12. Good flop for Q's. I'm not liking my position so I tried to turn it around a bit and set up for a check raise with an aggressor on my left. Is this a good line so far? Should I've raised more? Or is this line against the idea of playing a pair for a small pot? Should I've called? Turn: ($61.50) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $25</font>, MP2 calls $25. Okay, that's not a great turn card. I just watched him take overcards to the river. What do I do here? Should I've fired more or go weak tight and check/fold? River: ($111.50) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets $35</font>, Hero calls $35. The previous hand is really ringing in my head when he bets. I put him on a A, but I just could not get away from the Q's. I guess I was hoping for a KJ. Should've laid this down getting 4 to 1 on my money? Final Pot: $181.50 I am not concerned with the results. I would like to know what others think of how I played the hand. Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF"> Hero has Qh Qc (one pair, queens). MP2 has Ac As (three of a kind, aces). Outcome: MP2 wins $181.50. </font> |

Re: QQ OOP, how would you play it?
Lead the flop, dont check/raise (certainly dont check-minraise).
Bet the turn properly, not 25 into a 60 pot. And check/call the river is fine. Essentially - against this particular flavour of moron (who can play Q-high for so much money) you are going to lose some chips with QQ here. |

Re: QQ OOP, how would you play it?
Yeah, lead this flop. It makes the hand easier to play and keeps the pot smaller. You only have 1 pair at this point. The river call is a must against this opponent. Too bad it didn't work out this time.

Re: QQ OOP, how would you play it?
I was hoping to take the pot with the check raise. I agree the min-raise was bad, no horrible, but the raise button is so tempting.
The turn bet. How much should I've bet? Why? I felt I was beat at this point. |

Re: QQ OOP, how would you play it?
If you feel that you are beat on the turn then you should check/fold.
I dont want to win the pot against this guy, I want to take as much from him with a hand that figures to be WAAAAY ahead of his range of hands. Bet pot flop, bet pot turn (fold a raise), and then probably check/call river. Sucks that you lose to AAA, but if he can play QT for lots, then he can play many hands that you beat for lots. |
