Hey, recently started to get back into poker and ran into this hand today... where did i missplay / can i fold my full house ever on the river?

Hero (SB): 102 BB
UTG: 100 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 5s 5h
UTG raises to 2.5 BB, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 2 BB, fold

Flop : (6 BB, 2 players) Qc 5d 3s
Hero checks, UTG checks

Turn : (6 BB, 2 players) Qs
Hero bets 4.5 BB, UTG calls 4.5 BB

River : (15 BB, 2 players) 4c
Hero bets 12 BB, UTG raises to 28 BB, Hero raises to 95 BB and is all-in, UTG calls 65 BB and is all-in

Hero shows 5s 5h (Full House, Fives full of Queens)
(Pre 19%, Flop 4%, Turn 0%)

UTG shows Qd Qh (Four of a Kind, Queens)
(Pre 81%, Flop 96%, Turn 100%)

UTG wins 194 BB

I have moved your hand to our hand discussion board. There fits it better.

This is basicly a cooler. Especially on NL2. A normal UTG range I can only think about 1 hand you lose against and that's QQ.

Cheers,

I am never folding here. Especially at NL2. He might be doing this with Qx or a str8. Well played.

I wouldn't fold either.
It is a great example of "https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=7017 0" rel="nofollow ugc" target="_blank">Zeebo's Theorem"

Zeebo's theorem

Zeebo's theorem is quite a simple one, and is likely to be the most profitable of all the popular poker theorems. Zeebo's theorem states that:

“No player is capable of folding a full house on any betting round, regardless of the size of the bet.”

I would only ever fold a boat if it was on the stone-cold bubble against a player that covered me, and only then in if had the underfull — fives full of queens for example, when queens full of fives is well within opponents range

Edit: You should read the entire linked article. There's a lot of good stuff in it.
