MP1 ($33.75)
MP2 ($34.05)
CO ($55)
Hero ($9.75)
SB ($6.60)
BB ($30)
UTG ($46.75)

MP2 checks, Hero checks.

River: ($13.75) Q♥ (2 players)
MP2 bets $5, Hero folds.

Final Pot: $13.75

My c-bet was called so check/fold...

Hand 2:
No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed)

MP3 ($48.25)
CO ($32.25)
Button ($27.75)
SB ($41.85)
BB ($50)
UTG ($51.10)
Hero ($10)
MP1 ($24.80)
MP2 ($50.80)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q♥, Q♠.
1 fold, Hero raises to $2, MP1 calls $2, 6 folds.

Flop: ($4.75) 5♣, A♣, J♦ (2 players)
Hero bets $3, MP1 calls $3.

Turn: ($10.75) T♥ (2 players)
Hero bets $5 (All-In), MP1 calls $5.

River: ($20.75) 5♠ (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $20.75

I reasoned that: 1) an A will usually raise me on the flop and 2) I've been getting floated a LOT at NL50, so figured firing the second barrel may get a fold...no such luck. Should I have check/folded the turn and river?

Thanks,

Good, would have played it the same way.

Hand 2.)
Tricky. I do not see him calling with much. Only hands I would put him on he could call are AK, AJ and 55.

I guess its 50:50 where I would go broke or be able to be done with that hand.

Amazingly he had KK :(...can't believe he didn't re-raise anywhere...not that I'd have been able to get away from QQ even if he did.

I think I may have been on tilt when I pushed the turn...but I'm glad to hear that it wasn't a HUGE mistake :)

Funny, that's exactly the thing I'm working on myself...
I tend to push on the turn after the call on the flop, thinking that he might be on some kind of draw and I want him to fold his hand. This is something I definitely shouldn't do according to the SSS. It seldom paid off.
So, it's check/fold for me...


Hi MisterB73,

I think this is the only time I've EVER done that...I was just tired of my c-bets being called EVERY SINGLE TIME! I just picked a bad spot for it I guess :(

Thanks,
