Total pot: (20.60 BB)


I wasn't even sure about coming in since one of my Qs is dead, but the A and the K just calling the bringing led me to believe I had the best hand.

On sixth I felt strongly that I had teh best high and that the A275 had the best low. I had a low opinion of the 55JQ. He could be in there with 3 to a low or 3 to a flush or some other crappy hand. The A hadn't caught anything to make me think he had me beat for high. I was going to checkraise the river too but I just chickened out.

From your comments at the end it sounds like you won the high,but I would have read it differently at the table.Like this.
5th:I'm not liking this too much.Seat 3 took 2 bets cold on 4th & now calls again after hitting a blank.Q's are feeling weak.
6th:I don't like the check-raise here.He already called knowing I probably have Q's up.I just call.(Yea,I know.I'm a wuss.)

[bigredlemon]

I see a lot of places that I would fold, and think there is too high a chance that you are beaten to continue let alone raise.

[mscags]

Fold third fourht and fifth, I would just call sixth and seventh. I don't see any reason to play this hand on third. THe pot is going to be multiway, you have a dead Queen and your hand is completely transparent. NOt to mention a A and K have already entered and this is a tighty structured game. Fold and wait for a better spot.

What he said. Not to mention you're getting freerolled by the low hand who may have made a wheel on 6th (or drawing to one). I think a C/R here is suicidal. If you want a better chance of getting rid of the third guy, then lead out and have the low hand raise so 55JQ can face 2 bets at once instead of one at a time.

I personally fold almost all of my split pairs (except Aces) and this hand is a good example what kind of trouble it can lead to.

Not much to say, an obvious fold. I only play Queens in late position with a raise if no one has called and no aces behind me.
