wtf. i stopped reading this when you only called preflop. raise this 100% of the time.

you're so screwed on teh turn

nice river.

unbelievable.

dont ever call there preflop...totally nuts. the amount of money you just gave up there is just...well...wow.

i think you're just about screwed. i think J9 is what MP2 had. at least it looks kinda like that. maybe a poorly played set that is now afraid of the straight or flush on the river.

but either way. poorly played preflop, thats what started the disaster.

Sorry, I didn't feel like raising to create pot odds for everyone to chase everyone on the flop/turn. I'm more curious as to my play on the turn. Should I have folded? 3-bet?

Why didn't you raise pre-flop?

It's hard to know how your hand rates on the turn, because a guy with AJ probably thinks he turned the nuts. Even the river is tenuous, since the turn raise might've been a semi-bluff that just came in.

I think it's great that you're thinking about pot size manipulation, but you should also be thinking about the equity QQ loses by not raising pre-flop. You lost quite a bit here.

once you get the hang of it, the PP 15/30 game is really quite profitable.

Especially if you can play 4 tables.

Ok, it seems like everyone is caught up about not raising with QQ preflop. I specifically posted this to try to get my postflop play, focusing on the turn. Should I have 3-bet or folded instead? Results post later.
