Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6511719, member: 305911"] Pre flop is interesting here. There are several ways we could play this (especially if deeper than what we are here). I would probably call in game as you did since I dont want villain to fold out their 99, 1010, and JJ (not sure if JJ folds or 5 bets but its close and villain dependent) and if I did 4 bet here it would be very small and if I got 5 bet I would be leaning towards folding which really sucks when we have QQ. That thinking though makes more sense when deeper and not at 34 BBs effective where wouldnt we be comfortable going with QQ at that depth pre? I would be so I could see this played either way pre flop for many different reasons. A lot changes 34 BBs to say 90 BBs but just throwing that out there for thought. I just really dont want 1010 type hands to fold here and I think 4 betting does that unless we small. Flop: Easy call, no reason to raise with the over card plus we dont want JJ, 1010, 99 to go anywhere. Turn: Couldnt agree more with others that this is a check back here all day especially with this card coming out. This is a very bad card for us imo. One of the pairs we thought could 3 bet that we are targeting for value now got there and its an overcard to the other two hands we are targeting. Villain checking could be slowplaying a monster (as what actually happened and they could do this with KK or JJ) but in game I would not be thinking that and be thinking more that its a give up a play which would make we also check and try to induce a river bluff by villain. You make a tiny bet here which actually makes your hand look strong so I dont think worse hands will call this including 1010 and 99 so no reason to bet here unless you are trying to blocker bet of sorts for the river to try to make villain check to us on river (which they did which is a huge blunder by them). No reason to make them want to check to us on the river if we are thinking they are weaker here more often than not. We want the opposite and we want them to bluff at it. River: As played no weaker hands will call, the turn call (even though it was small bet) worries me a touch and there is still an over on the board. This is an easy check back thinking there just arent any worse hands that will call outside maybe AJ but its just not enough to re-open betting in case we are wrong and are facing a strong hand (which in game at this point I still wouldnt think). Turns out your turn bet is genius being results O but that is not the correct way to play this hand when you face this situation again. It saved you a river bet that would have been large and would have been interpreted as a bluff (at least I would) but its important always to think long term the best way to play hands when faced with the situation over time.
