Wow. What an odd hand.

Anyway, after I raise, I'm not very happy when the flop gets 3-bet and capped behind me by non-maniacs. Everyone seems to love their hand. Sure, the board is draw-heavy, but I kind of worry someone's raising a set.

UTG+1's turn raise certainly doesn't cheer me up, but at least MP1 decided to slow down.

And I guess somehow CO may have made it to the river with a 6? Did he have Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or something? Was he slowplaying the whole way with a hand like TT? Was the river bet a desperation stab versus multiple opponents with bust or a hand like 22?

One thing I might've done differently is check the turn, with the intention of calling one back to me but not two.

I don't know. When multiple opponents show a lot of strength, I don't seem to win very often with an overpair. But if the table had a tendency towards occasional wildness, then I start liking your chances better.

I'm not really sure what's best on the turn, actually.

You played it fine. In this big pot, there is no place where we can really protect QQ.

I call down the river expecting to lose, but the pot is big enough to where we will only need to win a very small percentage of the time (4%) to show a profit.

Wow, an odd hand.

PF and flop: standard. Getting it capped behind you on the flop has to make you want to vomit, but you call anyways.

Turn: I like the lead out to try to get UTG+1 to raise it here to give you some semblance of protection for your hand. Do you call 2 more back to you? I wouldn't.

River. Check, call, and cry.

I don't understand what the turn bet accomplishes.
