Not sure where I was supposed to post this. One thing I've struggled with is actually getting my money all in when I have a set, or basically nut hand. This time it just all came together.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG+1 ($1.30)
MP1 ($2.63)
MP2 ($3.51)
CO ($0.59)
Button ($5.38)
SB ($1.98)
Hero ($4.98)
UTG ($2.47)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, Q.
UTG raises to $0.06, 2 folds, MP2 calls $0.06, CO calls $0.06, Button calls $0.06, SB calls $0.05, Hero raises to $0.2, UTG calls $0.14, MP2 calls $0.14, CO calls $0.14, Button calls $0.14, SB folds.

Flop: ($1.06) T, 5, Q (5 players)
Hero bets $0.5, UTG folds, MP2 calls $0.50, CO calls $0.39 (All-In), Button raises to $1, Hero raises to $4.78, MP2 folds, Button calls $3.78.

Turn: ($11.51) 3 (3 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($11.51) T (3 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $11.51

Results in white below:
Hero has Qc Qh (full house, queens full of tens).
CO has Qd 4d (two pair, queens and tens).
Button has 5h 5s (full house, fives full of tens).
Outcome: Hero wins $11.51.
Just playing to improve.

not to rain on anyone's parade, but I would suggest maybe making a larger reraise pf since you are out of position and there are a lot of players in already. Then I would bet a bit more on the flop, more like 2/3-3/4. Although, once button reraises the flop, good job to push over top.

QFT. You're going to get a lot of callers at this table, obviously, with a 3x raise. There's a bit of money in the pot already, pop it a little more and narrow the field. QQ doesn't look good on a LOT of boards with 5 players in the pot. Obviously an A or K on the board sucks, but a board like 489 with two to a suit is a bad spot for you as well.

No rain at all, when I review that HH the first thing I think of is that I should have reraised higher. Nowadays I'd be more likely to make it 0.30 preflop.

My bet on the flop was deliberately on the low end of my normal c-bet raise to entice some callers/raisers. Should I have been trying to shut it down more, or is a larger raise just to sweeten the pot more?
