this hand just happened, and I realized I have been getting violated while trying to clear this stupid stars bonus.
that said, this is not a bad beat post, it's a "I'm pretty sure my Aces are beat, how far do I go" post PokerStars 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls. Flop: (7.50 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls, MP2 folds. Turn: (4.75 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero calls. River: (8.75 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets</font>, Hero calls. Final Pot: 10.75 BB after the raise on the turn I am pretty sure the #^%#&^% caught trip Qs, and I'm beaten, but without any substantial reads I figure there's a good chance he could be bluffing, I know I would often bluff after that scare card on the turn. after the raise, I thought about a reraise, but I can check-call it down for the same 2BBS it would cost to reraise. so is there anything else to do except sit back and think about all the times I should win this hand? |

this is fine.
this is even more fine in the complete absence of reads. |

I call this down every time. For what it's worth, if I were villian here I would consider raising the turn if I thought you might lay down a better hand (costs the same as calling down if I check behind on the river).
As another poster pointed out to me a few months ago, if you never folded an overpair heads up you wouldn't be making a huge mistake. |

Totally standard. I would only even consider folding here if I had an absolute read that a player was passive and only played back at me with the nuts. Even then, I'd probably waste the 2 BB and call down to make sure my read was right! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

grunching.
hate these. but you gotta call this down (right?). Villian called two from the button so maybe you give him credit for the queen, but prolly not a 3 betting hand like KK or AK. Could be on something like QJ, QT, JT, AJ, AT, or even 55. |

I play it the same. In the absence of reads, not only could he have made trip queens, or a good player using the scare card for a bluff, but also consider that fish think the board pairing is good for them--they now have two pair.

After you PFR, you can reasonably expect many villains to take a shot at you when the board pairs, especially if it was the top card that paired.
I call down and expect to drag the pot much more often than needed to make this +EV. |
