Pocket QQ
Did I screw up Pocket QQs here?
I considered folding on the flop when someone came out gunning with an A on the board. I figured it was fold or raise to clear out the BB. I opted for raising and the sneak re-raised. I had only 2 outs but at that point the pot was so large I figured I had a good chance to get the pot odds I needed on the turn if I hit the Q etc... Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, BB calls, UTG+1 calls. Flop: (6.50 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls.

Re: Pocket QQ
Yeah you have 2 outs, but pocket Q is not a drawing hand. Play this hand aggressively because it wins often unimproved.

Re: Pocket QQ
I don't think this is a bad play at all. Your raise might get you HU with UTG+1. You're definitely beat when BB 3-bets on you, but you can close the action getting 15-1. With the BB 3 betting you. You should be able to get enough big bets in implied odds (only need 4 to break even) out of UTG+1 and BB if you turn your Q. Although the Qc may not be a clean out judging by the way UTG+1 played the hand. You could make a good argument either way.

Re: Pocket QQ
I usually give up on the flop against unknowns, but I don't mind the raise given the coordination of the board. It'd be a lot cooler if you had the [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q though. Definitely give up when BB check/3bets

Re: Pocket QQ
I think the flop is a fold when it gets back to you. You're getting almost 15:1, but the Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] might give someone a flush or a redraw to the flush which cuts down your odds, which are pretty much breakeven to begin with.

i think you gotta fold to the c/3-bet. [/ QUOTE ] It was close in my mind, but perhaps the fold is better. Was the flop raise OK or should have I just packed it in against 2 opponents, a bettor, and an A on the board? |
