Do you have a better line?

This pot is FAR to big to consider folding at any point...

What do you think he could reasonably have that I beat if he raises the turn? I count on the pot being protected.

Re: 5/10 QQ
 

Maybe check/call the turn/river?

Re: 5/10 QQ
 

Is that the only read that you have on CO. I think with utg in there it is possible he is capping a flush draw, but I don't know. Would he cap the flop with a T? Minus a read, I like the bet/fold line.

I don't think he is going to raise that turn without a 9 or AA or KK, especially with utg in there. so I like your line.

My line is based on the range of hands I put him on, basically a fd, QJ, TT or a 9.

The turn bet makes it impossible for him to take the free card he would like if he's drawing. If he raises again I can be sure QQ is not the best hand, since he would raise a draw anymore.

It's also good I hold QhQc since now he can't hold the massive oesfd+2 over, two combos he might could have raised the turn with. We have 4 outs against 87, but I don't think he'll cap the flop with it. Against 8h7h we're making a mistake by folding, but that's only one combo.

Thats probably the best thing to do if we can't fold to a raise. But if the middle guy calls a fold must be safe. If he doesn't its closer but I think we can still fold. If he doesn't have the goods he must be afraid we got it after all the strenght we've shown. I think it takes a maniac to keep semibluffraising.

Yup, and after UTG+1 called 4 bets on the flop I assumed he'll stick around most of the time when I bet the turn.

good point.

I still think your line is best. If he has the sack to cap the flop and raise the turn with 78 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or with a T, then he earned it.
