Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6339480, member: 397965"] [B]Hand 1 QQ[/B] Preflop I dont hate calling here, but you could also 4-bet with intention of calling a 5-bet jam. Folding would be to tight. Flop As played check-calling is standard. Turn He bet so large, that he commit both of you, so now is decision time, and I feel, QQ is just a tad to strong to fold. He could have JJ, so there is at least one value hand, you beat, and whenever that is the case, we typically cant fold. I dont think, there is any benefit in letting another card roll off and let him control the river action. All, this does, is to give him a free card, when he is behind, and still get the max value, when he is ahead. So for me I check-jam here and then come, what may. River As played you are probably beat, when he bet the rest of it, especially since the flushdraw now got there. But you are also kind of committed getting 4:1, so its kind of a crying call. You need to be good 20% of the time, and while its close, you probably are just about that. You still beat JJ or a bluff, which refuse to give up. Conclusion This is a tough spot, but overall I dont think, we can get away from QQ in a 5-handed game. In a full ring game with EP action, the 3-betting range will be stronger, and then maybe we can consider folding QQ on the turn. But in this exact spot I will classify this as just a cooler. Coolers are annoying, but they are also a wash in the long run. All, you need to do, is ask yourself, that when you have KK, and he have QQ, will he get away? And against most opponents the answer is "no". So he is not gaining any edge on you in this hand. [B]Hand 2 KK[/B] Preflop When someone open raise to 30BB, they are likely not intending to fold to a shove, so I dont see any need to slowplay to induce bluffs. All, this does, is to possibly allow him to get away, if he dont like the flop. So for me this is the easiest jam in the world, and I am loving the situation. Flop As played we are obviously not going to fold, just because the board is paired with rags. The whole point of just calling preflop was to give him the rope to hang himself, so this is the easiest call in the world. Conclusion This one is a crazy bad beat, and bad beats are always annoying in the moment. But bad beats are part of the game, and we want players like this on our tables. In the long run they cant defy math, so they are literally like an ATM machine. The only thing, which matter after a hand like this, is to not go on tilt and not start doing stupid things like berating him in the chat. Just suck it up, reload and dont leave this table, as long as he is still playing. [/QUOTE]
