Preflop is gross, raise or fold this. $20 on the river.

Folding, ok that is the standard thing to do with QTo
I don't see the point in raising however. Surely, if I'm going to play this kind of hand, I want to play it multiway and and with deep postflop stacks?

uh QTo isn't really a multiway hand

position(you'd like to buy the button and go HU vs a blind) and initiative are huge bonuses to hands

[No1Addict]

If you keep limping QTo you're bleading money. Raising gets you the initiative and you can win the pot by outplaying villain even if you do not hit.

The turn I like. He showed that he has a hand on the flop so the check is almost certain to induce a bet. When he only calls your re-raise though you can be fairly certain that he does not have a set or top two pair.

Considering this, you know a huge bet will scare him on the river. He has around 31 left so I say bet a little under half that ammount.

Raise this up PF.

I lead the turn and bet $20 on river.

lead the turn, or risk giving a fd a free card.

Why the overbet on the river? You're forcing him to muck TP hands and potentially 2p hands.

its only a slight overbet given effective stacksizes

oops! Obviously my hand history reading skills are degrading to match my poker skills.

I still much prefer leading the turn to trying the c/r. And, I agree, I toss this pf most of the time in lp and limp it never. In MP, I toss it regardless.
