No... what do you expect to beat here? JJ? KQ? I just dont see you beating anything that calls that flop, and leading river.

tarheeljks · #3 05-08-2007, 02:34 PM

ugh, we beat almost nothing. fold this

For the call to be profitable you only need to be good >33% of the time.

That said, I think you are beat here more often by a set or JTs that failed to check raise you on the turn.

There is no reason for him to think that I do not have a queen. It is even more likely after I checked the turn behind, that I have overcards. Yet he still pushes.

So, I would fold.

i know i sound like a broken record, but people are betting too much on the flop in reraised pots. just bet 1/2 pot on this flop. what's the difference

Hm, full ring forum is down the hall. But anyway, the size of your 3bet really sucks. Flop bet is too big in position as well for a flop that dry.

w/o any read on how you or villain are playing, there's no way to say this a good call or not.
