Hey guys, before we get to the hand described in the subject, I wanted to show the hand played just prior to it.
Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter (http://www.legopoker.com/hh))
SB: $24.40
BB: $25.00
<font color="black">Hero (UTG): $29.25</font>
MP: $32.25
Mr Special: $33.80
BTN: $33.04
<font color="black">Preflop:</font> Hero is dealt Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (6 Players)
<font color="red">Hero raises to $1.00</font>, MP folds, Mr Special calls $1.00, 3 folds
<font color="black">Flop:</font> ($2.35) J/images/graemlins/club.gif 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif Q/images/graemlins/club.gif (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $1.50</font>, Mr Special calls $1.50
<font color="black">Turn:</font> ($5.35) J/images/graemlins/spade.gif (2 Players)
Hero checks, Mr Special checks
<font color="black">River:</font> ($5.35) 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $5.00</font>, <font color="red">Mr Special raises to $10.00</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $25.00</font>, Mr Special calls all-in for $21.30, Hero calls all-in for $1.75
Uncalled bet of $4.55 returned to Mr Special
Pot Size: $58.85 ($2.90 Rake)
Mr Special had J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif (three of a kind, Jacks) and LOST (-$29.25)
Hero had Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (a full house, Queens full of Jacks) and WON (+$26.70)
So this leaves Mr Special only four bucks, and right away he shoves. Pretty sure he's got a junky hand, but wait! There's a call right away? Now we've got close to $10 in the pot, and I've got a valuable, yet vulnerable hand. What is the best play here?!?!
