Default Re: 10NL: QQ OOP vs. sticky unknowns

As played to 5th, id much rather check/call river than just shove it, hands you beat will usually fold (well, in general anyway) and hands you dont beat will set you in anyway so its the same result. The grey area is a missed flush draw trying to bluff the river.

Your right the pot is to big to fold and given pot size and stack size i guess its six and two threes either way here because a hand like 88 will still call you even on the scare card.

How id play it id raise much larger on flop and turn. Flop, a pot size bet is a raise to 2.7 if my 7am mind isnt mistaken, so a raise to at least 2.5 is in order to try and take it HU on a pretty draw heavy board.

On turn im all in - the pot should be between 7.5 and 10 depending if you take it HU or not and with your $10 back its an easy shove.
