[Closed] QQ (different hand)

you want to raise the flop in order to protect your hand. he could donk with a straight-draw or a 5/6, and you want to get the other opponents out of the hand as well plus they could fold better hands (weak Ax hands which any thinking tag would fold here)

as played BET turn!! theres no use to get fancy on those stakes.

i'd rather put him on an ace instead on 5x 6x or a straightdraw like 34 or 87. most of the time he'll have the ace. he donked out oop into 3 players. unless he is stupid i'd first suspect toppair and if he is kind of crazy donking with these hand i can even imagine him to play bet 3bet with his draws or with a weaker hand and you don't gain good information by raising and you are supposed to be behind most of the time and thus i'd just call the flop and see what happens behind. i like calling or folding with a read and that board isn't that drawheavy that you have to protect against tons of draws. as played bet the turn! no tricky play. he may have intended a checkraiseh with some sort of hand! you miss value by checking with strong hands. this is a general mistake that you need to avoid!

how do you play this hand vs unknown when MP2 and MP3 fold, you are unimproved on turn and river and are confronted with SB betting into you?

If SB Bets again i'd consider folding, having still mp3 behind me. sometimes i would call AQ and AK on this board in order to raise the turn. not sure whether sb does recognize this but i'd give him credit for Ax when he bets twice into 2 people.

I think I would have played like this

Raise pre flop - like you did

On the Flop, I am tossing up weather I would fold or call. If the SB bets into 3 others, you would have to put him on Ax, most of the time. Possibly even 2 pair, as they like to play Ace rag. My guess would be 60%-70% of the time they have Ax in this spot. He could have something weird like a straight draw, but at these stakes people do not seem to bet their draws, my guess 10%-15%. He could also be bluffing, probably 10% chance, He might have AA -99 here, but he probably would have re raised pre flop if he did.

So in higher stakes I fold, at these stakes I would probably call and see what happens.

On the Turn - Bet, If he had Ax your in front, if he had 2 pair - your in front, if he is on a draw - your in front, if he is bluffing - your in front. If he has any other pair - your in front. If he has AA - pay him off.

On the River - pretty much as for Turn. Bet. What is there that can beat you? Pocket Aces., King Ten
