Queen or straight
I'm a tournament player, trying very hard to give away my bankroll in games I don't understand.
This is early, so I have no reads. On the flop, I couldn't see calling the reraise, since I'm not likely to get any more money if I hit my straight. I couldn't see folding. I couldn't see rereraising. So I pushed. Somehow I feel there has got to be a better way.

Re: Queen or straight
Pre-flop is good.
On the flop the pot looks to be $6.75. Your $3 bet is terrible. Bet $6 instead. After you get raised pushing is fine. He could have you beat, but your equity is never terrible on this flop (unless he has KQ). Lots of players will go crazy with QJ-type hands here, and you're crushing those. |
