Hi all,

So I had QQ in UTG and made a standard 3BB bet. I received two callers from BB and MP.
Made a standard cbet on a flop that I didn't find too scary, as although my opponents were unknowns, I was confident that they would not be calling pre flop with any cards that would make any straights or straight draws.
The turn comes and again I don't think its a scary card as I feel it misses my opponents calling range pre flop. I make this a bigger bet purely because I feel that my opponent will call with two overcards, a flush draw or even something like Ax. He raises all-in making it another 14.5BB to call, player in MP+1 folds and I snap call.

What are your thoughts on this given that I was playing a multiway pot against two unknowns?

Looks like a bad beat to me. Turn raises usually mean business here, but I'm not sure we can find a fold here.

It’s always nice to hear that you’ve had a bad beat rather than played a band badly. Definitely agree that the turn raise was odd, but given the call preflight OOP even in the BB I could put him on a 97. I just labelled him a loose fish and moved on.

The guy certainly should have nice amount of draws there, and pair + draw type of hands. Short stacker could even raise shove some overpairs like 99.TT and sometimes JJ if he calls that pre.
Turn raises indeed are very strong at the lower stakes but here we are offered a great price. I couldn't find the fold button.

we cannot fold vs someone who had only 48BB. But if he had a full stack i would like to bet less (20bb) and fold to a raise.
