once the queen hits there's not a hell of a lot you can do mate....after having seen the standard of this torney you could be miles ahead.

[GreekStein]

When I hit a flop like this I check fairly often. Not much I'm gonna get value from if ahead that he flats with pre and it gives him a chance to bluff. Likewise - pot control if we're somehow beat, most usually by 22 or 44.

Can't put him on 35 though so as Bolderson says once the queen hits its gg.

I'm not sure I lead the turn here either.

agreed..I probs slow do on the turn but that's so that he can get his chip in bad

[LeedsRhodesy]

the Q fucked your really after his re raise on the flop you can put him on A2 A4

[daviebhoy]

I don't like leading the turn after he min-raises the flop. I don't see how you can fold once the Q comes on turn but you might get away cheaper.
