Default Re: Fire again with QQ\'s in 3r?

I agree we want to win this pot right now it is big. But despite a big bet on the flop villain still called. And no, I'm not planning on folding the river.

I'd even call a shove from the villain, but at least I have given him an opportunity to make a mistake (bluff or mistakenly value bet the worst hand). If I shove the turn, he plays perfect (except for maybe calling w/AJ).

Giving him a free card here isn't disastrous. The board is semi-coordinated but no flush draws are there. I'm guessing the villain is either already ahead or has ~3 outs. If he misses, he 1) either bluffs the river (or mistakenly value bets) and we call or 2) he will check and we can bet for value.

If he hits (or is already ahead), he'll value bet and we can call and have the potential of not losing our stack.

I think this line decreases the possibility of losing our stack while getting the most possible value out of our hand.
