Hey Ladies! (...get...funky)

[Wingnut]

Two QQ hands from Party .5/1. Early in my session so no reads on anyone.

1) I'm in the CO with Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. UTG calls, all fold to me and I raise. Blinds fold, UTG calls.

Flop A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG bets, I fold.

Is that routine, or way too weak? The pot didn't seem big enough to call him down on the chance he was pushing only a flush draw.

2) That same orbit, I am UTG+2 with Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. UTG+1 calls, I raise, CO (UTG from previous hand) calls 2 cold, button folds, SB calls, BB folds, UTG+1 calls (4 see flop).

Flop 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Checked to me, I bet, only CO and SB call (3 see turn).

Turn 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img][7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]]. SB checks, I bet, CO folds, SB calls.

River K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img][9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]]. SB checks, I can't bear to see this checked down, so I bet, SB check-raises, I make the crying call.

Was that a poor river bet? Results in white: <font color="white"> SB shows QJo for the straight </font>

Thanks,
