QQ in icky pot
 

MP is fishy obv but no stats. Button is 16/10 pretty damn nitty over a large sample. Not sure what to do on this turn.

35

gotta bet here i think

Re: QQ in icky pot
 

Bet. Whats icky? MP's range is whatever and button raises pretty much everything that beats you on the flop?

Re: QQ in icky pot
 

You can either check, hope that shorty shoves, and then c/r all-in if the nit calls or call if the nit shoves.

Or you can bet what the shorty has left and hope the nit goes away.


Your mistake is preflop btw. It's way too small.

Re: QQ in icky pot
 

bet again

Re: QQ in icky pot
 

I'm betting more on the flop and definitely betting again. I don't really see what's so icky here

Re: QQ in icky pot
 

how is that a mistake preflop? This is standard. bet turn.

Re: QQ in icky pot
 

Pretty much one of those spots where you gotta get it in, I think.

$35 is too small...I go closer to $50.

David,

when you bet $35 is that because it gave you a side door to fold to a push from the nit?

Re: QQ in icky pot
 

defintely bet and definitely bet more than 35. this is a hugely draw heavy board. this would be icky if your flop bet got raised, but as played it is atandard.

possibly, yes, and it gets the fish to call with more hands probably. IMO you don't need to bet that much on the turn.
