QJs Hand
Great live 15-30 game. Nice and loose, not very aggressive. I pick up Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the button. Two limpers to me. I opt to limp. (I raise here maybe 1 time in 4.) The SB calls, and BB (ABC-type) raises. Limpers both call. With position, and a guarantee of 5-way action, I now 3-bet. (Mistake?) SB calls all-in for two more chips, BB now caps. Everyone calls. Okay, so I know BB has AA or KK. Slight chance of AKs, but almost certainly AA or KK. 13 sb main pot + 5 sb side pot.
Flop is J 3 2 rainbow with 1 spade. BB bets out. Both limpers call. I've got top pair, but I know I need to hit another J or Q, or backdoor a flush. Still, I'm getting better than 20-1 and can close the action. Easy call. (Anyone raise here to get BB to 3-bet and pressure the limpers...?) 22 sb total = 11 bb. Turn is an 8, completing the rainbow. BB bets. One limper folds, 2nd limper calls. Caller is loose, not the most passive player but not particularly aggressive, either. I'm getting 13-1 to hit a Q or J. I call. River is a beautiful Q. Top two pair. I just cracked his AA or KK. BB bets out. I'm loading up to raise him, when, much to my surprise, the limp-caller raises. How's my play been so far, and what's my river action? |
