Default Re: bad beat hand, but questionable play...need help

I fold preflop here, because there are too many players left to act behind me, and I don't want to end up paying two bets to see a flop. Also, its unlikely that you're going to have the button after the flop.

Flop:
You have a good hand, so jamming the pot looks good here.

Turn:
Raising looks like the best play here. Your hand might not be best, but you only need to have 25% equity for your raise to be for value. You have a lot more than that.

River: unless there are five queens in the deck, you are beaten and need to fold. I have no idea what your opponents have but someone has to have trip queens beaten. Its too hard to figure out a situation where your hand is good here.

Raising the turn is good because the other two players may have flushdraws, however, after SB's turn lead, you can't think you're ahead often here.

Like snowball said, on the river, both those players can't have a queen. The only draws that got there were for 24 and 47 and neither of those make sense to play, especially on the flop unless they're both [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]s. I'd expect UTG to show a slowplayed underfull after this raise.

Fold preflop.
Cap flop or call 3bet and raise turn.
River... I'm not sure yet. You're easily at least calling one bet here.
