How is this hand played?

[Uppercut]

As I read your post, I kept asking myself when the hero was going to 3 bet his QQ overpair. You didn't do it preflop when you had the chance, or on the flop or on the turn. And then you checked the river. You missed a whole lot of bets on this hand in my opinion. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

This is the kind of hand where, as anyone BUT Hero I chat, "nh and thanks," and when Hero chats, "thanks for what?" (for some reason they always do) I chat back, "not taking more of my money."

Especially with a couple of maniacs on board, and button probably just hanging around hoping to pick up the pot from the two of them (so he'd bail if you showed any aggression), this could easily have been, what, almost a 30BB pot for you. More than that if they're true maniacs.

Edit 1: ok, now you can tell us that we're all wrong since one of the maniacs had acey-deucy and took down the pot.

Edit 2: dude, you really need to change your posting name before you get too many posts under your belt. That's a fine location, but a crappy name, and do you really want it following you around once you're a pooh-bah?

definitely 3-bet this pre-flop. you've got a maniac so you've probably got the best hand. you want people to try and draw out on you. but, you'll more likely knock some people out who otherwise call this maniac.

lead out the flop. this is a great flop for you. keep betting until you get some resistance.

And then they take your money next time because you clued them in.
