Bet more on the river. Get the rest in on any raise. You are ahead of plenty of hands that look you up here.


Don't be results oriented just because someone had KQ this time.

Was pretty sure i wasnt against KQ because of the lack of flop betting.

Oh and reason i only bet small on river was to try to get the trip Q's as well as the flush to call (if there was any).

Trip Q's/flushes are calling 800 just as often as 240. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if a shove was the most +ev bet to make.

At level II in a 4/180 with a full house and that many people going AI you should be extremely happy.

I'd play it the same but I bet more on river, maybe 600, you'll get called with a huge range here.

Thanks guys. Advice received. will bet more on river next time. FYI MP1 had KK and was slow playin.

Re: $4.40 MTT. Q7in bb. am i really behind here? Is this a fold?
 

only 2 hands beat you here KK, very, very unlikely, and KQ unlikely but possible. I agree that ahigher river bet is more appropriate. Very unlikely you are behind here, I would say that what happened is villian caught a flush and took you raise as representing 3 Qs so he raises over you.

Re: $4.40 MTT. Q7in bb. am i really behind here? Is this a fold?
 

Anyone who slow plays KK here is losing in the long run with premium hands. Basically he played his hand for set value and got lucky at this point. KQ is possible, but I never shy away from hands where case cards are the only hands that beat me.

If KQ is beating me, then pretty much variance just kicked me.

If KK is beating me, then someone pretty much just got really lucky and I got coolered.

But I'm going to get calls from ALL strong Kings, any other Queens and any flushes on this river, and I'm ahead of any other hand enough times to get my money in here.

I guess one of the other guys had the case Q and one had a flush? Wow what a wild hand. Oh yeah, no way I'm folding this.
