Comments welcome on all streets.
Preflop, I was a little worried because there was so little preflop re-raising going on at this table, especially when the initial raise was something other then min raise or from ultra low stacks.
The bet on the flop seems a little a weak in retrospect. But should I even be leading out this flop to begin with? I was a little surprised when it did not get reraised, but then the button came along and that did not seem good.
The turn looks like spew, if I do not plan on calling the river, and with only $2 left after the turn, I figured he would push the river. I guess I was just praying that he would check behind on the river and that I might be ok at the showdown.
The preflop re-raise made me think KK or AA, and I have been stacked a couple of times recently by overplaying QQ on dry boards (I was betting closer to 3/4 pot on flop and turn and it all went in either on the turn or river and I lost to trips or AA).
How far do you push QQ, and what indicators do you see that causes you to let up or just throw them away? How much do you call trying to get to a cheap showdown?
