Playing QQ as over-pair to board

edited March 2012 in The Poker Clinic

Any spots in this hand where I could have played this better?
As opponent led out on flop I put him on J decent kicker, so thought it might be a good spot to slow play and see what the turn came.

I know it's an unlucky turn for me, but should I have raised on the flop?

    I'd probably raise flop normally but just calling down is fine too if you know he can fire bluffs which he clearly was on the flop.

    He gets super lucky on turn but most times he'll just fire 2/3 streets and you win it.

    Also make sure you add a note that he donks with weak hands like this, will help you when you have air yourself.

    unlucky, a 20 buy in bankroll makes these hurt a lot less and mean youl win in long run. take note and move on

    its fine, raising flop good v lots of bad villains though

    I personally would re-raise the donk bet at NL10 i think(i may flat v good/aggro, tight oppo re-raising dry-ish flop may shut down the action and only get action from monsters) but at these levels you may lose value from jx, 910, A8 etc as they are not going to fold on the flop, but as played i would flat turn too, river? is this player capable of bluffing here? seeing you have less behind than the pot,  i doubt it!..but he could do it with a jx hand for value i suppose, i prob play same as you here and stack off, but v certain villains this is a easy fold, but overall i think its always a marginal call/fold situation, you cant expect bluffs from SB to often.

    played fine imo

    Seems fine.  Obv want him to barrell worse.

    I prob raise flop for value as tonne of worse hands/draws come along.

    But fine eitherway.
