Weird/ Interesting hand :)
Hey Guys,
My first post!! Having some time away from the tables today, but i can't get this particular hand out of my head, and thought i will share it with the world, alongside my thoughts as to why i played it the way i did
.
So in the hand, i am the small blind, i have a good player to my right on the button. playing 50nl. This has to be one of the most unusual hands i've played in all my years of playing poker.
Pre Flop
The player on the button raises to £2.50 with only 1 limper before him.
I just call pre flop from the small blind with QQ, partly to play tricky, but also to control pot size when out of position to a strong opponent.
Flop
Flop came down 222.
Pretty great flop for me, i still have to be weary of him having AA or KK, as i didn't re-raise pre flop i'm not sure how strong he is, so i open the betting out of position, to get an idea of how strong his hand is, without letting him do a standard C bet in this spot. He calls!
Turn
Turn was 9.
Again a good card for me.
I check this position, again this is to gauge what he has by seeing how he reacts to my check. I know that if he does have AA or KK he will bet this spot. He checked behind me so i know i no longer need to worry about him having AA or KK.
River
River was another 9.
I thought, "great card", now i have to over bet the pot in this spot for value, as he definately will think there is a strong chance that I am just playing the board, he can't put me on TT or above from the way i have played this hand, maybe his only worry will be me having a weird hand with a 2.
