    Default I'm a pot size slave

    Party Poker 10/20 Hold'em (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with Q, J.
    1 fold, MP calls, Hero raises, 1 fold, SB calls, BB 3-bets, MP calls, Hero calls, SB caps, BB calls, MP calls, Hero calls.

    Flop: (16 SB) T, 2, 3 (4 players)
    SB checks, BB bets, MP calls, Hero calls, SB calls.

    Turn: (10 BB) 9 (4 players)
    SB checks, BB bets, MP calls, Hero raises, SB folds, BB 3-bets, MP calls, Hero calls.

    River: (19 BB) 5 (3 players)
    BB bets, MP folds, Hero calls.

    Final Pot: 21 BB

    Results in white below:
    BB has 9c 9h (three of a kind, nines).
    Hero has Qd Jd (high card, queen).
    Outcome: BB wins 21 BB.



    I'm never usually left with an OESFD on the turn with more than one opponent, so I had to question myself before I did raise, anyone else thinks my raise could be +EV if there is a small chance my overcards are good? My river call, is, well, Q high? It might be good 4 percent of the time, but I doubt it. I'll label it an information call, or something.

    Raising the river MUST be a better play here than calling.

    Fold > Raise > Call

    Do you fold to a 3bet given that now you are getting like 27-1 to call?

    After he 3-bets what % of the time do you think you're good?

    How about this wager? I'll toss two ten sided dice with sides labeled 0 through 9. You wager $10, I'll wager $490. If two 0s come up, you win, otherwise I win.
