with QQ in my pocket i like this board. i valuebet and i protect here against any kind of daws (one pair drawing to two pairs or trips, low connected cards drwaing to a straight)

Turn: (t420) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets t280</font>, SB calls t280

i dont like this turn, as it makes straights possible, but i think i have to valuebet and to protect my overpair here. so i dont check behind but bet 2/3 pot

River: (t980) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

this low card, pairing the board ist terrible. the straight has arrived on the turn, now the trips has come. can i call this river-donk bet?

Re: $16 when do i fold my QQ overpair
 

I probably still call the river, but if I were to have played this I would possibly have bet more on the flop, like 150, and definitley more on the turn, around 3/4 of the pot, and therefore would never be folding a river card with the much smaller amount of our stacks left on the river.

Re: $16 when do i fold my QQ overpair
 

I don't see a big difference between 120 and 150 on the flop, but I stick with you when it comes to a bigger turnbet like 350-380.

Not that much different, but then its 30 more on the flop, and 50 more on the turn or so. I just like to keep it expensive for any trash hands they might have but yeah its probably about the same.

Re: $16 when do i fold my QQ overpair
 

your goal should be to stack off here and maximize. that said: bet more everywhere.

140+ on the flop
350+ at least on the turn.
call river at that point, or shove when he checks to you.

Re: $16 when do i fold my QQ overpair
 

this river fold sucks. this is a really easy call. and if he checks to you then you should be shoving here

Re: $16 when do i fold my QQ overpair
 

I'd pot the flop and push the turn. That way at least I'd have the satisfaction of getting my money in with the best hand before his A7 hits trips on the river.

Re: $16 when do i fold my QQ overpair
 

16$ and not vs spacegravvy and you are FOLDING AN OVERPAIR on such a non-scary board?!?!
The last 7 made 77 even less likely.
Villain could be "valueshoving" a AT/KT type of hands. Maybe even JJ...

Re: $16 when do i fold my QQ overpair
 

Played fine. Maybe bet a little more on the turn (~350). Call this river. Don't be scared of the straightdraw, very small chance he is holding a 6 after a 4x BB raise. I play the $16 regular and i do fine. Villain has a 10 here 85% of the time imo.

i need to stress that the bet amount as played compared to 350 is a BIG difference.
