^^^ Lol.

Flatting the flop is fine imo. Turn is a bet for sure. As played think you should call the river

[muckthenuts]

Also i don't think it's shady to buy in for £250 if your table is aware of it. I imagine if anyone objected you'd take it off? At my casino i'm generally fine with people putting on as much money as they like!

I lolled pretty hard. He played his hand like a frush so his range is polarized to a frush and only ever a frush! God pads, how don't you know this!!!

Sick level

God you played this hand so bad imo.

I fold this river because five cards of the same suit beat three cards of the same picture.

Especially after he checks when the flush hits after betting out on the flop, deception ftw. His check is biw-riful and has instilled the exact though in your mind that he was trying to plant. That he got scared when it hit after you've only flatted him.

Can't believe nigh on everybody who replied call the river value bet, nice to know.

pretty sure this post is a level

Understood. No criticism until >50 poasts. Sigh.

I can understand people saying flat the flop as it's the most efficient line to stack a Qx hand, but the chances of villain having a Q in this spot are so remote that the only thing he could lead with here are either a flush draw, two pair to value town a flush draw, or a lower set. Highly unlikely to have an overpair but still need to keep it in his range.

This is why I would put a chunky raise in on the flop. The only hands in his range that he's folding are airballs, or middle/bottom/pocket pair. Once we flat, these hands are going to pull up the rains massively and were never getting THAT much more chips anyway.

On a flop like this I want to play for stacks.

Hope I got levelled.

I wasn't saying anything about the criticism, tear him apart pls, but just found it funny how your post made it sound like his range is completely polarized. It's not THAT unlikely he has the case queen multi way full ring (it is unlikely, but not that bad). Also 2 pair/set combos. Agree more with your second post.

I don't think it was a level, but if it was, nh sir

Agree raise more pre, £12 min. There's a multiplier effect to preflop sizing, flop bets are bigger, turn bets are bigger and stacks are easier to get in, which is obv something you want with QQ. Also, don't wanna sound too much like a livepro here but you don't really want it to go 6-way to the flop.

Don't mind flop line at all. Dunno what lildave is on about when he says people don't donk/fold, has he played live before? Have people stopped 'finding out where they are'? Would not be suprised to see any of the following hands: A5, 77, TT, QT, Ah4x, and that's on top of the legitimate hands+draws we're crediting him with so far itt. The turn is 4:1 to come a heart and fish tend to bet way too big or way too small, so imo 80% of the time we can get very decent money in on the turn in abs crushing shape.

Turn is close imo, don't feel like we're getting 2 streets all that often so don't mind the check back tho.

River is obv call, guessing the guy had set of hence the existence of this thread.

I agree flatting the flop is abso fine + would be my stnd i a variety of similar spots, Id would just personally expect an average live player to be donking reasonably strong OTF in a spot like this, and even if he is "finding out where he is" he might still flick another call in with one of the hands you listed "putting him on hearts"

I think you get less credit in the live arena raising flop than calling and raising a later street on a board like this,

I think the line taken once we;ve called the river is abso fine tho
