haven\'t posted in a while. online hand.
folds around to mp who calls, i raise next in with QQ. big blind and limper call, 3 to the flop for 2 bets.
flop is 34J two-tone. big blind checks, limper bets, i call, big blind calls. turn is an offsuit K. big blind checks, limper bets, i raise, big blind 3bets, limper calls, i fold. not that interesting i guess, i'll find some more though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: haven\'t posted in a while. online hand.
QQ is more vulnerable than KK or AA - I'd raise the flop. No need to keep the big blind around...
I mean, it's not like the pot's so big he would only fold to two BIG bets. And, it's not like your hand is so much of a lock you want to slowplay. Assuming the limper calls the raise (and the big blinds folds) you get the same amount of money in the pot with one less opponent. |

Maybe not raising the flop, or maybe raising the turn when the overcard came.

Re: haven\'t posted in a while. online hand.
presuming one person has a king and another has an ace, and there were no other ones dealt out (not terribly likely) there are still only 6 of them combined in the deck.
online players are generally loose and terrible callers, and this hand is no exception. i would be completely unsurprised to have flopped middle/bottom pair or a hand like ace ten/ace jack to call 2 cold on the turn with a gutshot. |

You should raise the flop. The BB will have to call two cold to continue.

u should have raised the flop. if BB had a set or two-pair he would come and you would be beat anyway. but that doesn't mean u shouldn't have raised flop.

Re: haven\'t posted in a while. online hand.
uh, i guess it doesn't appear to all of you that the AUTOMATIC way to play this hand is to raise the flop. i'm aware of that, i considered it, and i believe raising the turn is a superior play.
there are up to 6 overcards in the entire deck that can harm me, and these are the type of opponents that will call 2 cold on the turn with any piece of the flop. raising when the king drops, with position, ensures that i can fold without reservation to a 3bet and maximizes my profit in terms of their cold calling. furthermore, even if i'm called in both places i can still check down the river unimproved. anything less than ace king (and even 2 pair a majority of the time) will check to me on the end. |
