Did I bet too much on the turn? After getting raised, I was almost definitely beat, but could I fold at that point?

i dont bet that much on the flop but i guess it wont help much from getting away from the hand.
At 6,50 you get payed by so much wacky holdings though

I bet pot (a little over pot - pot was 270) because there were a zillion draws on the board.

100 preflop. 3\4 pot flop. push turn.

I like the flop bet..but once I get called, I'm going for pot control..I'm checking the turn..and evaluating..This feels like a set more than TT-JJ ..Nonetheless, after the K falls..i'm def. done with hand.

Personally, I hate risking everything level 1..especially if I'm not really confident I'm ahead.

I like the bet on the flop. But after getting called I wouldn't bet out at the turn.
But after your bet and the reraise of Villain you had to call.

I guess you have two choices with your QQ postflop

you can go for the small pot, pot control, "value"

or

you can just assume that QQ is good and try to get as much $ in a possible

in a $6, either is ok

higher up the first is MUCH better


1/2 - 2/3 pot is better like...nearly all the time
