Final Pot: $195.

BB unknown

i know that we can argue abt the call pre, normally i overlimp suited connectors if there are 2+ limpers already in the pot but this time there were couple additional reasons for calling pre: 1st blind level, BU, HIGH suited connectors which makes my play not that bad i think. the rest pretty standard. i'm not sure abt the river tough.. On one hand i rivered two pairs but on the other hand i really don't think that BB would have led pot sized into 2 plrs without at least better two pair hand or simply a K. easy fold?

I think u played well. I tend overlimp QJs even against 1 limper from BU, too. I see a lot of implied odds on 6,5$. I can't imagine what u can defeat from BB play. I probably fold too.


i would bet/fold the flop, to get value from worse pairs+draws.

i think folding the river is fine. only hand you really beat is QT, rest of his range has you crushed. (JT would have bet flop) and hes not betting with air here ever.

what do you think about raising that minbet on the turn after checking behind on the flop?

i weight the MR towards draws as well. and considering that we absolutely crush all the draws (except KJo). I want to keep him in the hand to win a big pot on the river if we hit rather than raising him off the turn.

I think there may be small value in raising to 75-80 if you think they will still call.
