Funky format in a festival poker game, but results would be the same even for a standard game.
We all had around $30 - $50
Hold'em: Open limits 1-2, NL on raises
SB: $0
BB: $1
UTG: Folds
Me (UTG+1) - $40 (Q-Q) - Raise to $5
(UTG+2) - Calls $5
(CO-1) - Calls $5
(CO) - Folds
Button - Calls $5
SB - Calls $5
BB - Calls $5
Flop: A-K-A
SB - Checks
BB - Bets $1
Me - Raise to $5
UTG+2 - Calls $5
CO-1 - Folds
Button - Calls $5
SB - Folds
BB - Calls $5
Turn: A-K-A-(Q)
BB - Bets $2
Me - All-in for $30
UTG+2 - SNAP calls $30
CO-1 - Folds
Button - Calls $30
BB - Folds
(River was a J, but irrelevant)
**At this point I have a nice chubby b/c I think I've got this in the bag with Q's full....
Of course CO-1 flips up A-K for a flopped A's full boat. I'm left holding my dik in one hand and my pocket Q's in the other.
So what do you guys think? Cooler? Can you slow down with QQ after the Q comes on the turn with that board or are you going bust here too?
**The $30 all-in on the turn was b/c a call would have looked strange, and the overbet wouldn't make sense normally if I had QQ and hit the Q on the turn.
But in hindsight, I guess this could have been pretty easy to get away from too, but based on the quality of hands these guys were raising and calling with (I'm the one doing all the raising), Q's full felt like the best hand.
Looking at it...I guess really the only things I could have beat based on the pre-flop and post flop action was a rag A, JJ, a str8 and a flush. I lose to everything else....
Opinions?
