[Closed] QQ from BU

Had no reads on anyone, except that the guy to my right was playing 80% of his hands, and pretty aggro (but this was only from watching one orbit!).

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.05/$0.1 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BU with Q:s, Q:d.
CO posts deadblind, 2 folds, MP1 calls, 2 folds, CO checks, Hero raises, SB folds, BB calls, MP1 calls, CO calls.

Flop: (8.4 SB) 4:c, 8:s, 9:h (4 players)
BB checks, MP1 checks, CO checks, Hero bets, BB calls, MP1 folds, CO calls.

Turn: (5.7 BB) 7:h (3 players)
BB checks, CO bets, Hero calls, BB calls.

With no real reads on the CO, is passive play the best, or should I have 3bet him?

JT just came in, but I'm pretty sure I'm ahead of his range still. I ran it through equilab, and I gave him a pretty generous (perhaps too much) limping range:


Board: 9♥8♠4♣ 7♥
       Equity     Win     Tie
CO     24.79%  24.65%   0.13% { 22+, A2s+, K5s+, Q8s+, J8s+, T9s, 98s, A2o+, K7o+, Q9o+, J9o+ }
BU     75.21%  75.08%   0.13% { QdQs }

River: (8.7 BB) Q:h (3 players)
BB checks, CO bets, Hero calls, BB folds.

Final Pot: 10.7 BB.

hi helipacter
preflop and flop play is standard and good. i would raise the turn. of course he might have a set or a straight but those aren't many combinations especially because he would have raised a set on the flop most of the time i guess. imo he most likely picked up something like pair + draw and you want to let him (and the 3rd player) pay.

btw:
it doesn't make much sense to calculate your turn equity against his preflop range... would he call hands like 22 and A2 on the flop and then donk them on the turn? most likely not. so you have to search for holdings which are likely in his preflop range + he would call on the flop + he might donk the turn with... then calculate your equity.


Hi Frzl,

Thanks for the help! I thought, when I reviewed the hand myself, that it was a 3bet. But it's always nice to get another's view on a hand.

With regards to the Equilab usage - I'm still a complete noob with reviewing my hands, street-by-street. I think I'll suggest a "Spazz's Guide" in the feedback forum - I only really use it to test myself with the equity trainer...

Thanks again!
