Flopped trips & good kicker, multiway pot

    Default Flopped trips & good kicker, multiway pot

    This hand is driving me nuts since I undid 1000 hands of reasonable play with it. If I'm meant to be going broke here and I'm being too results-oriented, I could use some reassurance. In hindsight I can find an argument that I'm behind, should I be folding the turn with huge pot odds here?

    Button is loose, BB and UTG seem quite tight, haven't played many hands. Only BB can really have an overpair. Someone almost certainly has the other Q, if it's the button then J kicker is probably good, either of the others is probably AQ.
    There has to be a third hand. Maybe it's a nut flush draw but 55 seems more likely.

    Code:
    iPoker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (10 handed)
    
    UTG+1 ($1.78)
    UTG+2 ($3.03)
    MP1 ($0.87)
    MP2 ($3.71)
    Hero (MP3) ($6.20)
    CO ($0.44)
    Button ($5.24)
    SB ($1.44)
    BB ($0.98)
    UTG ($5.38)
    
    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Qd, Js
    UTG calls $0.02, 1 fold, UTG+2 calls $0.02, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.02, 1 fold, Button calls $0.02, SB calls $0.01, BB raises to $0.14, UTG calls $0.12, UTG+2 calls $0.12, Hero calls $0.12, Button calls $0.12, 1 fold
    
    Flop: ($0.72) Qs, Qc, 5s (5 players)
    BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+2 checks, Hero checks, Button bets $0.72, BB raises to $0.84 (All-In), UTG raises to $2.24, 1 fold, Hero calls $2.24, Button calls $1.52
    
    Turn: ($8.28) 9d (4 players, 1 all-in)
    UTG bets $3 (All-In), Hero calls $3, Button calls $2.86 (All-In)
    
    River: ($17.14) 4d (4 players, 3 all-in)
    
    Total pot: $17.14 | Rake: $0.85
    Related: should I leave the table once my stack gets too deep? I know I only really lost one buyin at this table (I'd been running good for a few hours) but that hand cost over 10% of my BR - that's bad right?

    I don't like QJo from the MP for this very reason
    calling a raise is even worse because there is no hand other than trips/two pair/straight that you'd like to flop here
    if you're going to call pre, do it with suited cards

    one queen or jack are not good often enough against a tight raiser's range

    post-flop there isn't much to say because you're committed to the pot except since you're committed you should raise the flop
    it doesn't really make a difference in this hand, but it's a good thing to do in general so no one changes their mind about sticking around in this pot after seeing the turn card

    and yes, you should leave the table after your stack gets too deep since you want to be playing 100BB stacks

    Also: remove results from the hand

    I see people open limping UTG with hands that are strong but shouldn't be played in their position, like AQ, KQs. Also, He checkraised, and he has to show his hand because of BB's allin, so I doubt he's ever bluffing here. If anyone has it, I'm betting UTG does. If he doesn't, I'd make a few notes about him.

    imo, I've found that people give you less fishy-style action at 2NL if you have a >$4 stack, regardless of whether you bought in with it, or won it.

    ya Im gonna agree with JR on the part about people viewing your play by the amount in your stack.
