I liked how you used LAGs position compared to you and faced the field with 2 cold on the flop. I also like your turn fold.

Like I said, I didn't intend to CR the flop, but when the opportunity presented itself, I thought I'd take it.

I think if I bet out, they're all calling and then the LAG is raising. So, the pot gets even more bloated and everyone's still in.

why the hell are you c/r ing this flop???

fold turn. I don't know, unless he was a maniac, I think I'm giving up on this flop somewhere. Like bet/fold, or maybe c/c. I don't know i'm being lazy and don't want my head to hurt thinking about it...

I would probably lead bet the flop, but turn it into a bet/fold because with those two big overcards, you have 2 outs to another Q, while there are 6 outs to an Ace or King. Given the aggressiveness of the other players, sometimes you just have to fold an unfortunate strong hand on a killer flop and live for another hand.

Yes, a Jack came on the turn giving you 4 more outs, but you wouldn't have been thinking that before hand.

Your action preflop was good, but bet the flop and fold on a raise.

Bet/folding the flop is horrible. If you bet, you have to call when it gets raised.

Why do you have to call when it gets raised? Does your fold button stop working after you bet?

Getting 22:1 immediate odds and likely 24:1 when all is said and done, yes, my fold button stops working when I'm holding QQ in this situation.

Ok, I'm going to post the results for this.

TAG folded an A, or at least told me he did, and I believe him. Went like this:

Him: Did you have an A on that huge hand?
Me: No, but I folded the winner.
Him: I folded an A on the flop.

CO had JTo, meaning that I only had 4 outs on the turn. A Q would have given him the nuts. Oh wait, I was AHEAD ON THE TURN.

I can't remember for sure, but I think the LAG had 7 high.

I will now gargle lighter fluid.

Bet the flop, call 1 SB but not 2SB. Isn't that simpler and cheaper?
