Re: QQ-hand.
You seem to be a very good player. Why do you play these low limits?

Re: QQ-hand.
I'm betting the flop.
What does his river bet mean? Has he done it before? I probably call out of curiosity, but the question is really just how often he's pure bluffing. If that exceeds 25%, then call. If not, fold. |

Why? [/ QUOTE ] What were you going to do if he bet after you check, and how does this define his hand any better than if you just led out? |

Also, there are more important things in this situation than defining his hand. Let's say I bet, he calls and checks the turn. I am as clueless of his holding as I was on the flop, and I have just made the pot bigger w/ a marginal and very tricky to play holding. EDIT: or even if I bet, and he raises, how does that define his hand? |

Re: QQ-hand.
Sorry, Kongo, didn't realize you had position.
I'm still betting here though. I think betting out defines his hand pretty well. If he check-raises, I believe you can safely fold. If he calls, I'm also betting the turn. If he calls that, then I'm going to check behind on a non-spade river. I wonder what you should do if the river is the 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and he checks to you. Did you think about that at all? |

[/ QUOTE ] I don't think let's say a check-min.raise on the flop from his part puts me to a very easy decision. Basically, I'd like to avoid that situation, something that is done by not betting the flop. Check my previous post in this thread for various postivie aspects of checking this flop. |

Re: QQ-hand.
why would villain bet 1/3 pot on the river? i would have to guess that he has a hand like AK here a lot of the time. it seems an odd way for him to play a smaller pair like TT and he would be betting a little more with a boat i'd imagine.
