Hows my play with QQ hand on 100NL full ring

DMACM · #1 06-27-2005, 10:33 PM

How is my play of this hand here? My biggest concern I suppose is with my turn call but I figured with the odds I was getting calling him if he had 2 pair was pretty close. He played 40% of hands but was pretty passive preflop so I dont know about the call I made here. Any comments greatly appreciated

Bet at least $10 on the flop. On the turn you are getting great odds against 2 pair (like 16 outs), but not so great odds against a set. I think it's pretty close.

Personally I'd bet more on the flop, but that wouldn't have saved you in this case.

I think your turn call of his all-in bet is poor (EDIT: OK, it's not that bad, but I feel a fold is better here). You don't have the odds to hit your straight if we put him on a hand range that includes sets, 2 pairs, and straights, and he may hold some of your outs (e.g., he could have KQ). I'd fold here against a typical passive player -- he's not pushing for fun, he's pushing because he's got a hand.
