5-10 -- passive with an overpair

I would have led at the flop. What was your plan when you checked? What was your plan when you called on the turn? You either got lucky and hit a 2-outer or got a poisoned pill if he was sitting on QQ

With the action having gone the way it did, I make a big bet (~$600) at this and hope he has 10-10 or J-J. You might even get paid off if he has a king. If he has QQ I just lose a lot of money with the big full.

If he doesn't have one of those hands, I don't think you're going to get another dime out of him. He has to know that a set of queens is no good.

Villain was first to act, so I couldn't "lead" at the flop. I checked behind for pot control. This flop sucks for me.

This flop did suck for you, but I would have bet (not led [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) at it to find out where I was while the pot was still small. If he flopped a set of queens or jacks or a straight he would have shown his strength then for aobut $100.

I prefer to be the aggressor in a pot like this to make the villian make a decision that will reveal his hand.

So, did he have the quads?
