Default Re: QUEEN-QUEEN Offsuit Some Thoughts

Going for a turn checkraise is much too risky for obvious reasons, and must be rejected

Why? I think it's an excellent spot for a CR, but I'm not that great of a player.

The action on the flop strongly suggests that someone will bet again on the turn. If you aren't confident that someone is going to bet in this spot, when is a CR EVER acceptable?
That is most likely the play I would make from the position you were in, but I guess I could be wrong.

Again, the only problem I see is there is some lost value on the turn. When you 3 bet on the flop like that, you are probably just going to get check-called on the turn (profitably for your opponents).

It's the nature of my game to try and charge more on the turn.

You raising the flop after it was 2-bet is fine, and is definitely +EV, but (personally) I would go for a CR on the turn.

I think this debate illustrates the problems with being out of position pretty well. I just think if you don't think a CR will work in this spot, you will rarely find times that it will work (unless you have a monster).

That's all just my opinion, and I could very well be wrong.
