QQ Hand

[Boris]

Since we've decided that $40-$80 counts as "high limit", here goes...

I'm posting this because Mike l. gave me a ton of grief about the hand.

B&M 40-80 game. The game is medicore. There's only one really bad player and the rest are passive nits. There's one New Guy (NG) to my immediate right who I sense is taking a shot at a higher limit, but I'm not sure. He hasn't won any pots and is slowly getting nitted to death. He's on his second buy-in.

5 players limp and I complete in the Small Blind with QQ.

Flop: Jd-5c-3h

I check. Solid Player (SP) bets, NG calls, I call and the Live One calls. NG made a weird spazzy motion when he called. My read was that he wanted to raise but then didn't.

Turn: Jd-5c-3h (8h)

All check to the NG, who bets. I raise and it's folded back to NG. NG 3 bets. Eff me. After some thought I decided to call.

River: Jd-5c-3h (8h) (3d).

I check.
