    Beef_Horse is all-In.

    Results:CanBeOnly1 shows [ Ac, 9s ] two pairs, aces and nines.
    Beef_Horse shows [ Qc, Jd ] a straight, eight to queen.
    Beef_Horse wins $19.5 from the main pot with a straight, eight to queen.

    check-fold. with 3 broadway cards on board, you should rarely try to take a stab at the pot with 3 limpers checking to you with weak hand.

    Preflop, i'd like to see a raise. QJo doesn't exactly flop many dominant hands.

    Flop is fine.

    Turn: Since you're in the hand and have no stack, this is an ok call. I woulda liked to see a raise if you had some more chips to your name.

    River: I don't like the smell of that river card. If I turned a flush draw, I woulda bet it the same way he did. If I flopped a straight and was a smelly fish, I might slowplay and weak play it on the first two streets. I may have just called here on the river. There arn't many hands that'll call and pay you off except two pair or a set.

    To be honest, I was only going to be playing for about 15 minutes, so I bought in only for 10 bucks, and decided to play QJo, a hand I usually dont play, for the action. I usually buy in for 25 and dont play that hand, but short on time I decided to go for it.

    Well, it sounds like a leisure session. Just don't think of adding this sort of play into your normal bag of tricks.
