Up to the river this hand is a no-brainer. What bet-size on the river? KJ isn't going to fold anyway - how to extract value from sets/flushdraws?

Hero: $35.76
UTG+1: $38.85

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with Q♥ Q♣ J♦ K♠
Hero raises to $0.85, 2 folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds.

Hero shoves because he is likely to get called by a set, but a missed draw will seldom bluff.

Without a read I think it is best to just bet out on this river. You have shown plenty of strength already and the prevalence of high :spade: s both reduce the likelihood of your being able to induce a bluff from a FD. See if he'll call one more time.

I would bet 1/4 of pot. The other guy will for sure reraise and you can go all in.

hmmm you could also just check to him this way you can reraise his bet and if he checks you'll see his hand so "free info".

I ended up simply potting it again but I don't see how anything less than a KJ hand can call me there.

While the likelyhood of a set/flushdraw bluffing me isnt exactly high, neither is them calling my bet. Not sure if a smaller bet would have been better.

probably apply sklansky's theories with regard to fold equity here and bet as big as possible (obv potsize), because he's not folding much more to a BIG bet than he is to a small bet. and if he's not bluffing to your check, he's probably not bluffraising you either

i just pot the river again. a set of aces could have called the turn because you are deep, he might call you again for some stupid reason.

nobody bluffs the river here when there is still more than potsize left for both of you.
