    Default QQ UTG flopped overcard

    MP is 23/14/62% (35 hands) and BTN is 68/18/56% (40 hands), but I don't have any specific reads on them yet. I'm not happy with how I played this hand, should I have played this differently? Bet more earlier, fold at any time, etc.?


    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    saw flop

    SB ($5.54)
    BB ($1.93)
    Hero (UTG) ($6.27)
    MP ($1.08)
    CO ($6.58)
    Button ($4.48)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with ,
    Hero bets $0.20, MP calls $0.20, 1 fold, Button calls $0.20, 2 folds

    Flop: ($0.67) , , (3 players)
    Hero bets $0.40, MP raises to $0.88 (All-In), Button calls $0.88, Hero calls $0.48

    I didn't like the K but I figured both villains would call a bet with a lot of worse hands -- any jack in their range (which, for the button, is a lot of hands), 44-TT, flush draws, straight draws, etc.

    When BTN called the MP raise, I figured I had to call -- he had too many weak or drawing hands, so even if I'm behind to the MP raise I can make up for it with the rest of the BTN's stack.


    Turn: ($3.31) (3 players, 1 all-in)
    Hero bets $1.70, Button calls $1.70

    My equity just improved, and I still think I'm ahead of the villain, so I bet. I think I should have bet more here, closer to 2.50.

    River: ($6.71) (3 players, 1 all-in)
    Hero checks, Button bets $1.70 (All-In) Hero ????

    Ugh, crappy spot -- why didn't I bet more on the turn? Now I have to call 1.70 to win 8.41 when an obvious flush draw just came in. I did notice that the BTN bet 10 out of the 11 rivers he was involved in, so I think this is a bluff enough times to make it a call.
