22 on QQ2 flop

Xiphoid · #1 02-22-2005, 09:28 PM

Very loose table (41% VP$IP), thus my playing of 22 after one limper.

UTG is 35% VP$IP, 3.5% pre-flop raised, and .40 total aggression.

Who here 3-bets or simply calls and collects the bets behind you?

Slow down at all or am I just facing three queens?

Final Pot: 25 BB

Thanks.

I like your flop call. No need to knock out flush draws and other players. I would just call the river 3-bet, otherwise looks fine

Looks fine. It looks to me like mr. UTG is in with KQ and paired up on the river. KQ would be a nice limping hand for him and he definately played it like 3 Q's. I think you got rivered - but if not, good hand. I may hold off on the flop action in order to let others catch, but that's me - i'm a slowplayer at heart. Good hand, sorry if you got outdrawn.
Results?

The cap on the turn already announced that you're full. I don't see the need to 4 bet on the river, especially considering that the flush didn't hit. Anytime the turn and the river are capped and I don't have the nuts, it seems like I lose. 2s full is not good considering the action.

Also against a tighter player I think you can call the river, because there aren't a lot of hands that will take the turn action and keep betting. But against a loose player, I would probably raise it too.

Thanks for the input. UTG flipped over QQ for quads.

I should have taken more note of UTG's .40 aggression on my river play.

well he busted a nut when you kept raising him...

If I were to pretend that I didnt see the result, i would have guessed he had KQ
