Bad QQ set

Postby Aisthesis » Sun Sep 11, 2005 3:55 am

This is a tough hand that I was playing tired. Here's how it went.

I had made a raise not long before to $30 from LP, and the whole table folded. So, I picked up another QQ in LP and made it $20 with maybe 5 limpers before me. This time I get 4 callers.

Well, the flop comes KQ9 with two diamonds. So, I like it kinda sorta... Checked to me, I bet out $80 into the pot of $100 and get 1 MP caller, a decent player who likes to slowplay and does tend to overplay two pair.

The turn is a diamond. He checks and I check. The river is a blank, and he bets $200 into the pot of $260. I call, and he turns over JTs (not diamonds).

So, he was also worried about the flush. Anyhow, while I don't view this as an easy laydown, I think I'm behind against this player much more than 60% of the time. He's very capable of playing the flush that way as well, and I don't think he would have made that big a bet on 2 pair, actually.

think the smaller preflop raise killed you...nice check on the turn though.
