Don't post results. We're not interested in your bad beats, we're here to discuss your play.
Second: reload PF. Shortstacking isn't the way to go IMO. On to the hand: Villain calling all the way looks like a draw to me. The call on the flop could be a slowplay, but I think most players would raise the turn. As you have the Q of spades you still outs in case villain has a small flush. Your small bet on the turn smells like weakness to me. Villain could raise you here with any two, putting you on a flushdraw. I'd check here and let him bluff if he was on a draw and missed. |

[/ QUOTE ] In as much as I thank you for your comments, I really dont need the sanctimonious rhetoric, as you might note I registered at 2+2 in 2004, I know how the forum works and have 1000's of posts at other forums. The question was: QQ Coolered or could have saved money? which your answer (and what I thought afterwards) was a turn check.. however if villian had pushed, I do not know whether I could have folded as given the action I put him on A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or similar. |

His line would probably make me slow down(fwiw I'd bet 1/2 pot on the turn); I'd probably check the river and call a reasonable bet. He'll bet with AsJ, but I don't think he'll raise what looks like an obvious "call me please" bet on the river with something that you beat.

fold to the river raise, he's not doing this with a hand you beat... other than that NH

Re: QQ coolered or could have saved money?
In my humble opinion we're trying to learn what the best line for a situation is. Not if we can save money / extract more money knowing the results. You could've saved $20 here by folding preflop... Although that line would kinda suck. I'm trying to analyze the hand without knowing villains hand, as I would have to do at the tables (when my Pattern Mapper is broken anyway [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ).
I wouldn't check on the turn. If villain would've raised it would've been a different situation. I'm not really sure I could let it go then. In retrospect, I think all the money is going in anyway. I don't really see how you can get away here... |

Re: QQ coolered or could have saved money?
you actually think you're good here enough to make calling the river shove profitable?

[/ QUOTE ] I don't usually think that folding the river with a hand this good with these pot odds is good. But in this case, I think a fold to his river RAI is definitely the best play. I really don't see a villain bluffing here while giving such great odds to call, or villain value-raising with AJ on this board... (I'd always call this i think btw, but when thinking about it i'm pretty sure this is a fold) Edit: after doing some more analysis on the hand, I think after his All-in on the river, i think villain only has a flush or KsKx/AsAx |
