Fist pump happy dance buttsex snap call without a really, really strong read to the contrary

Oh, and welcome to FTR

Now tell us which hands you think your villain could be doing this with.

Also tell us how big is the pot and how big is your stack (and his bet).

could be he is shoving because he has no hearts either and is afraid of the draws to his TPTK type hand or he has the nut flush draw with his kicker.
could be a little card made flush that doesn't want any more hearts.

Probably if you made the crying call you would LOL to see it is the same hand Q 10 off.

[brucesmall]

Ehhhh, to me it depends on A. what's at stake and B. how many BB you got left....

If he didn't raise pre-flop with two hearts then most likley he wouldn't have them or he has a low suited connector.... I say I would have called reluctantly and probably be dealt with the devastation of 3h6h??

There's gonna be a lot of small flushes in villain's range, and calling gives the guy behind us good odds to draw if he has a big flush draw. This is tourney so your stacks size is crucial, as is prize breakdown. I can fold this if I feel I'm stacked enough to go deeper.

Also, why is QTo your favourite hand? Make AA your favourite hand so you're not making non-optimal plays with hands you like for whatever reason. I'm not saying raising QTo is bad here, but how many times have you called a raise oop with it vs a tight player because lol it's your fave hand? For a long time, my favourite hand was 64s, but I stopped playing it like a retard when I realised I was spewing money with it. QTo is merely slightly better than average, and facing a raise it's weaker. Reassess how much you like this hand imo.

Beginner: Can I ask you a question about a hand?

Pro: Sure, go ahead.

Beginner: OK, thanks. So I’m holding king-queen suited, see, and there's one call in front of me...

Pro: What position are you in?

Beginner: Oh I don’t know - I guess maybe I was fifth to act ...

Pro: What position was the first caller in?

Beginner: I guess he was second ... no wait, he was right under the gun ... yeah, that’s right... no,
maybe he was second... well, it was something like that.

Pro: How many chips did you have?

Beginner: Gee, a lot, maybe $4,000, $5,000 - right in there.

Pro: And what were the blinds?

Beginner: Oh, not that much, maybe $50/$100, $100/$200, something like that. But anyway, I called, see, and then this guy behind me raised! And everyone else folded around to me, and I didn’t know what to do...

Pro: How many chips did he have?

Beginner: You mean the guy who raised me? I don't know, who can remember all this stuff? Hey, I want to talk about the hand!

Frankly this whole discussion is moot. Not enough info, and OP hasn't posted since so who cares
