Okay here's a hand I wanna ask about. My questions: 1) Should I bet or check this flop? 2) What's the best way to play the turn?
Background: I've been raising a lot in LP and I've only shown down low connectors and one gappers. I had one hand with Seat 8 where I raised in LP 46s over limps ~$20 and Seat 8 was in the blinds. He asked, "Do you have another premium hand like 45?". I ignored him, he thought for a few more seconds and then called. HU to the flop which was low (nothing over a T at least) and gave me a gutshot with a flush draw. He donk bet OOP $25, I raised to $70, and he folded. I showed my 46s and he said, "Better than what I had." He then proceeded to mutter amongst the guys at the other end of the table (I think I was sitting in seat 4).
Limps to me and I get dealt QQ in the SB. I raise to $22 - this is my first raise OOP (over the last 2.5 hours).
Seat 8 and Seat 9 both call.
courtie: ~$300
Seat 8: ~$250
Seat 9: ~$200 (He just came to the table. I've played with him before and I don't remember what I think of him, although I really don't think that he's very good)
Pot: ~$70. Flop is JJ4 with two spades (I have no spade). I check, two more checks.
Turn is 5, not a spade and not the same suit as the other J. I check, Seat 8 checks, Seat 9 bets $30. I call, Seat 7 calls.
Pot: ~$160. River is Q (dammit, I can't remember if it was a spade).
I bet $80, Seat 8 raises to $160, Seat 9 folds. I push, obv.
