QQ hand

[Brian]

Hey guys,

I just recently moved up in limits from .5/1 to 1/2. I am pretty sure I can handle at least the 3/6 games, if not more, but I am moving up slowly and not taking any chances [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Anyways, haven't had the best of days today, and I'm not sure if it's because I am still adjusting to the new limits (doubtful), or if I am playing incorrectly (likely), or if I'm just taking my fair share of the loss [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So here's the hand:

Dealt Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in EMP. UTG calls, EP calls, I raise, and MP 3 bets. MP is loose aggressive. Blinds fold, rest call, I cap, rest call. 4 to the flop for 17.5sb.

Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Checked to me and I bet, MP calls, UTG calls, EP folds. 3 to the Turn for 20.5sb (10bb)

Turn: J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Great. I think to myself that I probably need that straight now to win. UTG checks, I bet, MP raises, UTG folds, I call. 2 to the River for 14bb.

River: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I check and make a crying call. MP shows AJo for the win.

Seemed pretty straightforward to me, but I've been doing poorly today so I want to make sure I am not making any mistakes. Sorry if anyone considered this a waste of time.
