Call the river with QQ?
10/20 at the Taj
Full table, don't have real solid reads on people as it was early in my session, except for the few hands UTG+1 has shown, it's all solid. No one has acted stupidly, at least not obviously. UTG+1 calls, 2 limpers call, I raise with QQ in late position, CO cold calls, the BB and UTG+1 calls. Flop is Kxx, two clubs. I have Qc. Checked to me, I bet, CO calls, UTG+1 calls. Turn is rag. Check, I bet, CO raises all in, UTG+1 calls, I call. There is $30 in side pot. River is a low club. UTG+1 bets. I think hard on river about what a mess I got into... |

...fold. UTG+1 cold called slightly less than two on the turn so at the very least he has a king and you are still losing.

Re: Call the river with QQ?
Turn call is also debatable. I had figured that if I was up against a K, I would have found out on the flop. Since I didn't get raised, I thought I was good.
I put the all in guy on a draw - and I didn't put much merit on his all in raise. I thought he didn't want to just have 5 bucks left after a bet, so why not raise all in. |

Re: Call the river with QQ? - RESULTS
After thinking hard, I fold on the river. UTG+1 shows TT, CO shows 88. UTG takes down the pot.
With the combination of the K, the clubs, and a very small side pot, I didn't think UTG+1 would bet a weak hand. But I think I borrowed that thinking from tournament strategy. But doesn't it still apply here? Man, was I pissed. |

Re: Call the river with QQ?
Im not saying that calling the turn was the right move;however, if youve concluded that your Queens are ahead by calling the raise on the turn (the 'desperation all-in bet was the right read), I think you should make the call on the river. The pot has over 200 and is laying 10:1. Even if UTG has a flush 8 out of ten times, this call will still be profitable in the long run;therefore, there is not much use folding on the last bet after playing them this far.

Re: Call the river with QQ?
Aren't you getting like 19-1 on a call here? Surely this is a bluff or a pp you're ahead of enought of the time to make this a profitable call.
