Looking at it I think the river bet sucks, there's no hands inthere that I beat which will call.

[Chex]

Only hands that are better than you will call, a definate newbie play at that. Keep playing.

On the flop, how many outs do you have?

What is the size of the pot?

(Hint: zip and tiny. Why are you calling here?)

[Zoelef]

Fold preflop. (I'd hold onto K2s)
Fold flop.

[MrWookie47]

You'll fold Q2 in the SB in an unraised pot after a limper and a poster? Dude, you seriously are a nit.

Fold the flop, though.

[Zoelef]

You're right - for some reason I was calculating 3:1 instead of 7:1. Complete preflop. Flopping just a queen would still warrant caution, though.

[dvashun]

Why did you call the flop bet? On the river, I don't see how you will get called by a hand you have beat unless UTG is the biggest fish ever.

[scatter shot]

If the players at .5/1 are like the ones at Paradise .25/.50 (that I play), they play two pair or a set the same as junk. Unless you have a good read on UGT, fold this flop.

Q2s is a slight dog against 3 random hands before the flop.

With this particular flop, Q2s is an abysmal dog against 3 random hands.

There is no possible read in this case that would allow hero to continue.
