blonde poker forum

It's the $400 Aussie Millions Qualifier. I have fluked a satelite into through Blonde.

1st hand, no info, Blinds are 10-20. Starting stack is 2000.

UTG & UTG +1 both limp. Mid Position raises to 120, i have  Qd Qh.

I decide to flat call, as do the two earlier limpers. Pot is now 510.

Flop Comes  Jd 5h 2c

UTG & UTG+1 both check. Initial raiser bet 520. What should i do?

I'm sure someone will give a better analysis but this is pretty much standard fold. He's asking for trouble with his bet though it's early limper flop.

All in baby

what are you hoping for when you flatcall pre-flop? Surely you've decided that if the Ace or King doesn't come on the flop you get your chips in? If you can't put your chips in here you might aswell throw queens away preflop IMO.

Push.

min raise so he thinks you're a donk with KJ and call his all in with AJ.

...no really.

nice :)

Shove im not folding an overpair here. I would have 3 bet preflop makes the rest of the hand easier imo.

I'm assuming that you only flat called incase they are playing with raggy aces and you want to see the flop first and if there's no Aces or Kings you can fire away from there.

If you're not going to play back at him on that flop then you'd have been aswell just folding pre-flop and save yourself  120 chips

Barring a flop with a Queen on it this is the flop you wanted to see

I think I Fold.

If UTG or UTG+1 has flopped a set they are checking to the riaser. Could be behind there too (not scared of this but is a possibility).

The 520 bet commits all your chips if you want to play as I don't think you can call 520 and fold later in the hand (I wouldn't), so you might as well put it all-in now or fold.

If you think you might be behind pre-flop with QQ you can play it as a drawing hand, same as you probably would JJ or 1010 here. If you were playing it as a drawing hand when you 1st called the 120, don't forget that you thought you were behind before just becasue it's a nice flop for your queens.

$3 MTT... I'm all in lol....it's always AJ.

Here, instafold.
Bet smells like KK to me, (also doesn't smell like a flopped set betting pattern).

i agree. as played you are in a tough spot with two to act behind. I prob pass here tbh, is he that loco that he cbets full pot with 3 other players in the hand?
Id prefer you to 3-bet preflop then get a clearer picture of his hand strength.

bish
bash
bosh

dream flop for you shove! either AKAQ or AJ id imagine or trying to steal from a tight starting table which can be very often the case.hopefully its a bluff and one of the other boys hit top pair and calls too.then you're laughing all the way to the final table
