    Default QQ, soaking wet flop

    Villain is unknown, definitely not a reg. How'd I do? UTG is pretty tight if I remember correctly.

    $1/$2 No Limit Holdem
    6 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($261.28)
    UTG+1 ($166.70)
    CO ($48.41)
    Hero ($235.11)
    SB ($196.00)
    BB ($264.75)

    Pre-flop: ($3, 6 players) Hero is BTN
    UTG calls $2, UTG+1 calls $2, 1 fold, Hero raises to $11, 2 folds, UTG calls $9, UTG+1 calls $9

    Flop: ($36, 3 players)
    UTG checks, UTG+1 bets $36, Hero calls $36, UTG folds

    Turn: ($108, 2 players)
    UTG+1 bets $119.7, Hero calls $119.7

    eww. I dont like the turn. So many scarecards could ruin us. It worries me that he could easily have Axs here. I think we are likely WB/SA on this board and there arent many safe river cards. I think fold > call. Im not sure if push > fold though. Id guess he calls with his entire range so something like

    99-55, 89s-45, Acxc.

    We need to win something like 35-40% of the time and the above range puts us around 40% equity so I think shove is probably slightly better than fold and call is the worst option.

    I would have just folded on the flop. You showed strength preflop and he led out on the flop. At that point you only had $11 in the pot. Just fold and move on.

    meh if hes slightly aggro we have tonnes of equity against stuff he leads the flop with and we have position.

    I don't think folding flop is an option, at least not against an unknown and likely not against most. I fold turn because he could easily have 2 pair, set, draw+overcard, straight or an A. I see why you want to call, but I don't think you have enough equity against an unknowns range here. I do think it's close so maybe it doesnt matter much, but on feel I say not enough to call.

    on the flop i was thinking along the lines of A8s or possibly a set/two pair/straight(but less likely), but either way I don't like that turn.
