QQ again

[jakbse]

That's the reason I posted this, I mean it feels really tough to fold, I did fold but didn't feel well about it since of course a Q fell on the turn. Wanted sort of a confirmation that I did the right thing.

what odds were you getting and were they enough to call for your 2-outer? that is your confirmation. if you made this flop call 1000 times over, you would lose money on it. don't let results own your head.

Easy one here. I'm just using this to show off my hipness by working in a Snoop Dogg refrain:

Drop it like it's hot,
Drop it like it's hot,
Drop it like it's hot...

You get the idea.

I think this is an insta-fold -- especially facing a bet and raise, against an UTG who raised pre-flop and a BB who called two bets.

Overcards on the board are never a pleasant site when when you have a premium pocket pair (smaller than Aces, of course).

It's dismaying when the turn would have given you a set. But, you can feel confident that you made the right decision based on the information you had. Not knowing when to fold premium pairs is a costly mistake many people make because they get too attached to them.

I suppose that if UTG showed KK, you would have been even more glad you didn't stick around since that Q on the turn would have cost you even more.

I can't tell you how many times I've folded a hand on the flop, seen my miracle card come on the turn, only to have find out that I would have still been beat (only it would probably have cost me a lot more...)

This is so true.
