QQ free showdown raise

I like it better than a calldow, but I think you might be able to fold the turn.

admiral, why do you like this better than a calldown? because we can get him to fold a hand with 5 outs?

I don't think he has a T too often. He could have a flush or straight draw in which case he might c/f the river, but will have to call our turn raise. I don't know if he will have these enough.

if the villian will always bluff his missed draws on the river after you call the turn, i prefer a calldown, i think. or maybe it doesn't make a difference.

I could see that for sure with 99, but don't a lot of T's belong in his range? and if so, is calling down better than free showdowning him?

This was my thought as well, you usually make the same from a flush draw if they bluff the river (and I think a flush draw isn't usually knocking opponents out on the flop) but it seems like you're folding tens and getting kings to call in case you're semi-bluff raising with a flush draw.
