The fine line

[Bartholow]

Didn't have much read on villain at this point, did I play this too fast or just right?

Care to explain 5th?

I think your opponent was rolled up.

[beta1607]

You think he would play rolled Q's that hard on 3rd? I think AAQ or or queens up on 4th is much more likely then 3 queens. That being said I hit the brakes after all that action on 5th and go to check/call mode

[BeerMoney]

Do you always slow play big hands?

Why would his opponent be raising a paired door if all he has is AAQ? The other possibility is 77Q. Either way, bart SHOULD be crushed here 9 times out of ten. When his opponent goes wild, he's saying he can beat trip 2's.

I've made a change based on the error you observed. Can you try it again, and if it still has a problem if my change messed something else up, can you please email me the HH?

Or QQ77 or 4 clubs. I think from my time spent sweating the 20/40 game is that it is much more agro then the l0/20 or 5/10 limits so it opens up the range of both players potential holdings.

[BeerMoney]

Beta, when people raise, they are either A.) Saying they can beat your hand, or b.) are bluffing. In either case, I would just call.

When he raises, he's saying he can beat a big hand. If he's bluffing fine. Let him bluff. he likely has few outs.

[Bartholow]

Opponent indeed had rolled QQQ. Obviously I blow.

Brunson said something to the effect of: "sometimes you just gotta pay people off when they hit nice hands". This hand played perfectly for villan, because he could represent premium pair early, then 4 flush, and you'd simply have to pay him off. Too bad a K didn't come save you.

I swear to God if rolled hands weren't possible, I'd be a zillionaire by now. I always get killed when I run into them. Part of the game I suppose.
