I feel like what I did here was right, but should have I minraised his bet on the river?

Looking at it now I think he had trip jacks. His check on the flop was to get me to bet and he was hoping I called his bet on the turn. I dunno about his river bet but I guess he had to find out if I had the straight or not.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) [url=http://www.6man.org/cgi-bin/hhconverter.cgi:3tk4gl06]TightPoker converter[/url:3tk4gl06]

CO (t895)
Button (t1475)
SB (t2050)
BB (t3515)
Hero (t2650)
MP1 (t1580)
MP2 (t1335)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with :Qd:, :Qc:.
Hero raises to t150, 5 folds, BB calls t100.

Flop: (t325) :Jh:, :Js:, :Kh: (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

Turn: (t325) :Qh: (2 players)
BB bets t300, Hero calls t300.

River: (t925) :9d: (2 players)
BB bets t750, Hero raises to t2200, BB folds.

Final Pot: t3875

Results hidden below:
Hero has Qd Qc (full house, queens full of jacks).
Outcome: Hero wins t3875.

I'd have bet the flop, and probably raised the turn. If you raise the turn he might pay you off on the river (might). You should raise big in case he has jacks full.

so again fuck off

I think raising to 750 is best on the turn just because the board is so wet and you want to give draws a chance to make a big mistake. As played the shove is fine.

Calling the turn is a big problem...

I'm not sure how calling the turn is a big problem. Its possible for him to have trips jacks, its also possible for him to have something like AQ with a heart or AK with a heart. If thats the case a heart on the river gets me gold, and so does a T. Of course short of AK with a heart he might not bet the river if he doesnt hit the draw. So in that sense I guess it would be more profitable to raise the turn since he will be paying to see the draw, and if he has trip jacks he might even repush against me.

Sometimes you just dont think about things until you read it or write your thoughts out. I need to just write my thoughts out more often.

What don't you like, Ugi?

I particularly like the flop check, K or J has you beat. I don't mind the smooth call on the turn, but I would prefer a raise. With such a wet board, villain might have made a flush/str8/slowplayed trips/underfull, and a raise would get all the money in. Clearly Villain had nothing here, and you got all the money you were going to get out of this hand.

I think you're losing a lot of value, that's all. No reason at all with that board to not raise the turn... just calling is much more odd in this spot.

Thanks Ugi, just curious as to your thoughts. I prefer the raise as well, but I can see the benefits of a slow play against an aggro villain.

Nice post, great advice. Ugi you have alot of info that we could all learn from. Getting it out of you can be sometimes tricky but there is alot to learn from you for sure.

My reason for raising is because draws are going to chase you all day and you're going to miss out on value when they don't hit on the river.
