Can I play QQ this way?

Miller's Crushing LLHE This answers the question very well.

Folding this UI on the turn is worse than just folding outright to the c/r, since it'll cost you an sb more almost all the time.

If I had to put c/rer on a hand, I'd almost always put him something other than Jx. Jx is seldom going to c/r here because he doesn't want to face the field with two bets on a cheap street.

Damn now that gave me chills. Nice. Thanks a million. Very inspiring post. Thank you again. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Obviously need to re-evaluate my play on this type of board.
Thanks.

basically you should temper your fear about someone holding trips when the board is paired by realizing it's more unlikely they have a J than, say, anything.

just as importantly, your opponent is likely to assume you missed such a board... i.e.: thinks you have missed overcards, not an overpair.

if you're up against a very straightforward and passive opponent, you might think about getting to the river cheaply. but in general, a single bet, even a single c/r on the flop, is not a reason to suspect that your opponent has flopped trip J's in a situation like this

Thanks EN I'll remember this on my next session.

Folding here is a very bad. It's way too likely you have the best hand. I am not worried at all about Sb's hand as he is making a clear the field out type of play, and probably has a 4 or something in really bad shape against you. The cold call by UTG+2 is your main concern, but it's very possible he is on a pocket pair or flush draw. I would call the turn. If the turn action goes, Sb bets, UTG+2 calls, I would raise. If UTG+2 raises I would fold, the turn. You your position to see where UTG+2 stands in the hand.
