MP ($44.95)
Hero ($63.15)
Button ($50.95)
SB ($35.25)
BB ($50.95)
UTG ($36.95)
Preflop: Hero is CO with Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $2</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls $1.75, BB calls $1.50.
Flop: ($6) 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $5</font>, SB calls $5, BB calls $5.
Turn: ($21) 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $14.5</font>, SB folds, BB calls $14.50.
River: ($50) K/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $29.45 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls $29.45.
Final Pot: $108.90
Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
BB has Js As (one pair, threes).
Hero has Qh Qc (two pair, queens and threes).
Outcome: Hero wins $108.90. </font>
This time the hand ended well for me, but poking around with pokertracker raised my eyebrows a bit. On the turn BB has 25% equity. Pot is 21 and BB has 44 behind.
The way I sized my bet on the turn, BB had good enough odds to call, assuming that I cannot fold on the river (which I probably couldn't). Even if I would full pot it, he would need to win 3*21 = 63 when he hits to break even, which he certainly will (already 2*21 from the pot on the turn).
So it would seem that I cannot fully protect my hand from a flush draw + A with a "standard" 2/3 pot turn bet or even a full pot bet (both of which are HUGE when compared to LHE bets).
Should I have played the hand somehow differently to avoid this problem? Or is this just one of those situations where both players can play profitably?
