0,02/0,04 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Texas Grabem 1.8 by www.pokerstrategy.cc.

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q♣, Q♥. CO posts a blind of $0,04.
UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 raises to $0,28, Hero raises to $0,85, 6 folds, UTG+2 calls $0,57.

Flop: ($1,80) 2♣, 6♦, J♣ (2 players)
UTG+2 checks, Hero bets $1,30, UTG+2 raises to $9,21 (All-In), Hero raises to $4,11 (All-In)

Figured that KK and AA was unlikely, since he would mos likely reraise me preflop, JJ was possible and AJ too, maybe AK/AQ ♣ or some strange combinations which happens only on these limits :). Had decent odds, and figured a call was the better option.

Any comments?

I would fold that hand. I'd put him on a strong made hand, re-raising to protect against the flush draw.

Most likely JJ, or a slow played AA or KK. If he was on a flush draw he would probably just call the flop bet. Only hand you'd be ahead against that he might push with is A :club:J :club:

Hi Mugge88!

Nice hand! I would have played it nearly the same. I would have bet slightly more on the flop ($1.60) and also would have called an all-in. The pot is big and he can easily have a flushdraw or AJ, KJ, QJ. If he has a better hand: so be it. But you cannot fold here.

Good luck at the tables!

At NL5 and NL10, it's an instacall.

That's true, guess i over-thought the hand somewhat. And i hadn't considered the fact that you've already committed almost half your stack to the pot.
