No reads on V at the time. How is my line? How many times do we see a hand like AQ or Qx here?

c/r on turn are usually kinda scary but i think we are good here most the time. Villian probably does this w/ alot of Qx hands. Couldve hit 2 pair w/ Q9 and doesnt realize he could be coutered. Not a whole lot of 5x hands make since and if he has 5x probably just payin it off. nh

looks good to me

Re: KK NL$25 FTP Line Check
 

I would play it the same.

Re: KK NL$25 FTP Line Check
 

what about QQ or 99? maybe a check-call would be better on the turn?

Re: KK NL$25 FTP Line Check
 

highly doubt QQ limp calls pf. 99 might, but this could just as easily be Qx, Q9, fd. could be some random 5 though

check-calling sucks..we need to bet for value and if we're beat, we're going broke anyway

it's just too likely that we're good with this board

Re: KK NL$25 FTP Line Check
 

I would play it as you did. I had almost this exact hand last night where Villain had JJ.

didn't see that he had originally limped...nevermind about QQ and 99 then - not likely

Re: KK NL$25 FTP Line Check
 

Well thanks not to be results oriented but the donk held 5-9 offsuit. I've played similar hands and won versus AQ Qx etc. so I'm not too unhappy with this. I couldn't help myself and I went off on him afterwards (I know don't tap the glass, etc.) He justified saying I *only* raised a buck and blah blah blah.

Re: KK NL$25 FTP Line Check
 

Theory:
Whenever OP lists pot size after each preflop action, Hero's 'premium' hand gets sucked out by Villain less-than-premium.

Not bad although in my case its selected as part of the default setting on the hand converter.

Generally speaking, I'd say the majority of hands posted on here are losses by Ops seeking validation of their play. I could be wrong but just my opinion.

Re: KK NL$25 FTP Line Check
 

wtf people - check the turn. he either has a Q a 5 or a smaller pp. He is NOT calling a huge turn bet like that w/ a Q or a smaller pp.

seriously? people pay me off here with any Q all the time...and even some PPs every so often

I personally don't bet so big as OP did, but I hate a check

ignore my, "going broke" comment...we actually will save a decent amount if we check the turn...but I still don't like it
