Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6922792, member: 305911"] Pre: Always nice to get a premium hand when we are in the straddle (Im assuming its a forced straddle as straddling UTG is not good to do if you have a choice). I would raise bigger here but not a big difference than what you did but probably more in the neighborhood of $1.35 depending on villains and also how people have been playing when they are the straddle. We get callers which is what we want although Queens are vulnerable so its a little double edged sword but much rather get calls then folds, Flop: Im not sure on this cause I play tournies and not cash so I may be off on this (Ill see what others say) but I think the sizing is on the cusp of being too big but at the same time it can be fine if you are against stations. I would probably go around half in game but thats not to say $2.20 is bad and maybe others will say its fine. Again, cash is not my forte as a disclaimer. We get two calls so I would discount a set a little and also I would think some flush draws could raise here but not always. Turn: I think this sizing is about right, I would normally go lower but its a double suited board and we already got some calls on flop so this sizing seems fine to me. I would not check here with this board but with this bet we put more than half our stack in already. If the turn was a 7 non club I would bet less here but there are plenty of draws that can still call this. River; You dont say what you do but its implied you jam since villain snap folds. This is the part of the hand I really disagree with. Im checking here... and I'm not checking here cause I am scared. In fact I dont think 108 or 58 just calls the turn on a double suited board when we are already half in, they would raise so I think we have the effective nuts here. I would check since I think 9x and those type hands are less likely to call and it makes my hand look like JJ or 1010. All the busted draws I would think would at least consider jamming here on us after we check. If we are going against a set somehow or two pair those arent checking behind so we can still get it in. We lose out a bit against some 1 pair hands at times but I am not sure how many of those call down 3 barrels after a 3 bet pre (after the straddle) anyway. So I would check here trying to let my opponent go for some big "move". [/QUOTE]
