QQ in the SB

SA125 · #1 03-25-2005, 11:10 PM

2-4 online. 3 limpers to me and I raise with QQ in the SB. BB and all call. 5 to the flop.

Flop A A 9r. Check, check, bet, call, fold, I raise, fold, call, call. 3 to the turn.

Turn K puts 2 hearts out. I bet, fold, call. H/U.

River a blank. I bet.

Why not bet the flop?

You seem confuse the posts that look for discussion with those looking for help.

Because I might be way behind. I want to represent a big hand and find out whether they're posturing or I'm toast. I want to avoid going into turtle check/call mode and mxi it up so I get paid off when I have the A.

He called and MHWG. Probably had a PP.

This should never be a concern for a party poker 2/4 player. Play the hand in a way that you feel maximizes your EV. Forget about mixing anything up.

Fair enough. Two questions.

1 - What is the best line to take there?

2 - Would you play that hand the same way, with that board, in roughly the same situation every time?

Lead the flop and go from there

Yes. I would never change my play online in order to "mix things up"
