This is terrible play on my part. How should it have been played?

Known players: (for a description of vp$ip, pfr, ats, folded bb, af, wts, wsd or hands click here)

0.05/0.10 No-Limit Hold'em (8 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Texas Grabem 1.7 by www.pokerstrategy.cc.

Preflop: Hero is BB with 9♥, Q♥. MP1 posts a blind of $0.10.
UTG+2 folds, MP1 checks, MP2 calls $0.10, MP3 calls $0.10, 2 folds, SB calls $0.05, Hero checks.

Flop: ($0.50) K♣, T♥, 6♥ (5 players)
SB bets $0.20, Hero calls $0.20, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $0.20, MP3 folds.

With three players to act this flop call might be OK. I feel that there are too many players to semi-bluff with a raise here.
Turn: ($1.10) Q♠ (3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1.70 (All-In), MP2 calls $1.70, SB calls $1.70.

My gutshot now loses to any ace should it complete. MP2 is not the type to fold. I push....yuk!! Played without thinking.
River: ($6.20) 2♠ (2 players)
SB checks, MP2 bets $1.50, SB folds.

Final Pot: $7.70

Results follow (highlight to see):
MP2 shows [ 5d, Kd ] a pair of Kings
Hero shows [ 9h, Qh ] a pair of Queens
MP2 wins $1.50 USD with a pair of Kings.
MP2 wins $5.89 USD with a pair of Kings.

Hi Nunki!

The flopplay is ok because of the reasons you mentioned. But on the turn I would just check/call and wait if the rivercard completes one of your draws.

Good luck at the tables!


They both are big stacks, so probably they don´t fold. If you like, you could push flop (there you may be ahead with your draws, but turn is probably check/fold, because they tend to bet 0,7-1$ and you can´t call it)
