Total pot: (22.60 BB)

I would reraise on 3rd. Given the board, you have to assume he thinks hes best with his queens. Only hand that has you dominated is Aces or rolled queens, which isnt likely. Id continue to jam pot on 4th and try and drive out others. Getting this pot heads up I think is key. On a side note I went on the worst run of my life the other day, losing appr 50 BB. Loose table, and every reason to think Id make quite a bit turned in to a nightmare of 2 and 4 outers. I lost with AA and KK in the hole 14 out of 15 hands, mostly when it was 2 pair. This continued into following day when on my first hand I get AA in the hole and aces up on 5th only to lose to Kings over on 7th with the case king. God I Love his game!

It was in one session of 10-20 and I only played for about 3 hours. If you lose more than that reguarly, I guess I do better than I think.

The other day i was down 110BB in about 3 hours on the 5-10.. I ended up being up 10BB when i quit 5 hours later.

Ive only been playing seriously for about a year and a half, and have never come close to that. Im speechless. In losing those 50BBs, I think the reason I was more upset than normal was because I was actually getting great cards, ie rolled trips, pocket paint, 3 to straight flushes and losing just about everytime. Given the table dynamic of mostly calling stations (which I know can sometimes work against you) I think I was more mad at the fact that I had a chance of winning 100BBs than I was at losing the 50BBs.

I'm really not sure what you're looking for here. The hand seems a little dubious just because of the amount action that is being thrown around, but no one is really showing anything huge.

On one hand I'd say, go for check-raise or wait for 5th to try to push people out. But you don't want to give a free card to the suited board. And you aren't in spectacular position to go for a c-r. And even then it might not work.

So just betting the whole way seems fine (until they hit a probable 2 pair and you don't).

Meh, kinda standard

Looks good to me.
