    Default QQ early, too passive? ($22)

    Completely lost the ball on this one. For some unknown reason I was afraid of the flush even when his line doesn't indicate it at all, so I just wanted to keep the pot small. Who would have bet the turn and/or river, how much and why?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is $60 (9 handed) by Hand Converter CG

    SB ($2000)

    UTG ($2000)
    UTG+1 ($2000)
    MP1 ($3720)
    MP2 ($1920)
    MP3 ($1940)
    CO ($2290)
    Hero ($2090)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with Q, Q.
    UTG folds, UTG+1 calls $60, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Hero raises to $240, SB folds, BB folds, UTG+1 calls $180.

    Flop: ($570) J, T, 5 (2 players)
    UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $420, UTG+1 calls $420.

    Turn: ($1410) A (2 players)
    UTG+1 checks, Hero checks.

    River: ($1410) Q (2 players)
    UTG+1 checks, Hero ?

    I think this is OK, the ace is a terrible card and the Q I guess catches you up with 55,TT and JJ but is still a terrible card for you to get any value from any hand you beat, just check it and shake your fist at the gods

    I think you played this fine.

    My only question is whether opp check the river with a hand that beats us? I guess Kx might be looking for a cheap showdown given the 3-flush on board. I also agree that opp is unlikely to call with any hand we beat.
