QQ in EP facing a reraiser

15/30 has always been in mid high. A lot of people play 15/30 and 20/40.

As far as I know SS is for 2/4 upwards which is hugely different from 15/30.

So either complain about the lack of forums or STFU.

You've read too many books and not played enough poker if you think
A)
he won't call with AK / AQ
B) he knows your hand range
C) He can't have AJ, QJ, 10-10, 22 here.

And if I knew he had AA/KK, why did I bet the river? In hindsight, as I said, it seems awfully stupid, as I don't beat anything but AK/AQ, and he's not calling with those.

he calls the river bet with plenty of hands that you can beat...TT AJ A8 flush/straight draw that picked up a pair. like others have said, the hand is much more interesting if he raises the turn.

Looks perfect....

I think there whole argument was "this is so standard it might as well be SS"
and to answer what hes scared of, set or straight. Should he be? probably not since you capped it , however he is though and goes into c/c mode.

He's not 3 betting me preflop with any of those except maybe 1010. Maybe. He wasn't a dopey lag.

As for the river bet, if you compare the number of times he calls with a hand I can beat to the times he folds, calls and beats me, or raises and beats me, the river bet is pretty -EV. I would have thought that would be the very first comment on this hand. Guess not.

Gerry,

River bet is only -EV if you plan on check-folding, or you think he will check through a hand that beats you (which isn't going to happen). If you plan on check-calling, betting is much, much better (+EV) in this spot.

Stop being a stakes snob, as well. It makes you look small and petty.

So to be frank, I don't want the advice of the small stakes forum when I post a hand. That forum is often wrong, too argumentative, and lacks technical sophistication in the responses. Once in a while a decent thread starts, but I rarely, if ever, read it anymore.

Perhaps. I have to think about this.

Haha sorry brother, but it's true. There are some good posters in SS though, for sure. Some.
