Default QQ three handed

PP 5/10 NL (3 handed)

This is the villain's third hand at the table. I raised the first one, winning the blinds. The previous hand I raised on the button and had to fold after the villain check raised my flop bet.

SB has ~1100 and I cover.

Button folds, SB min raises to 20, I make it 80 total with Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], SB calls.

Flop (160) 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

SB checks, I bet 100, SB calls.

Turn (360) 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
SB checks, I bet 250, SB calls.

River (860): 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB pushes for 680, I?

The SB's play in this hand really confused me, is this an easy call?

He might have a 5, but Id say with 90% certainty he has 66-JJ and your hand is good. I think you gotta call.

Eww. Ugly spot.

PF - Standard
Flop, Turn - I think I bet a little closer to the pot. This makes river a complete no-brainer.

Not sure what hands with a 3 or a 5 in them villian calls your PF raise with. 45s, 56s, 55 seem like the only possibilities, and I have no clue what hand with a 3 he would call with (A3s?? Seems unlikely).

I call here and expect to be good well over the 30% of the time I need to be to make this a good call.

This is an interesting line by villian, admittedly. I put him on TT

I think you're beat here. What would villian have here that you can beat. Your play says BIG PAIR and he isn't scared. Villian's play looks like AA/KK to me. With all that said, I'd have a tough time folding here. I'd probably call with no reads and hope he's a moron.

Default Results etc.

First of all I apologize if this hand was too standard or whatever. When I played this hand I called without much hesitation thinking it was an easy call. I ended up losing which is why I posted it.

Many of you simply say easy call. After I thought about the hand for a while I think that the villain has to either have a monster or be playing the board. I don't think his line isn't consitent with a middle pair. Why would he suddenly come out firing all in on the river with 99 or TT after check calling down. Maybe I am over thinking it and it is an easy call.
