QQ heads up Pot Limit Hold'em
By AdriennesRevnge on 05-14-2008 11:14 PM

 Hi everyone ^.^  First post !  Beginning to take poker seriously and trying to learn everything that I can

PokerStars  (2 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q, Q.  Hero posts a blind of 25.   
Hero (poster) raises, BB calls.

Flop:  J, 7, 4 (2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB raises, Hero raises, BB calls.

Turn:  T (2 players)

River:  6 (2 players)

Final Pot:

Results in white below: 
BB has Jc Jd (three of a kind, jacks). 
Hero has Qs Qc (one pair, queens). 
Outcome: BB wins . 


 Should I have slowed down after the re re raise on the flop? I wanted to make it as expensive as possible for him to draw at a flush....  feedback appreciated  =)

 Welcome to the forums:)

Without knowing the situation more fully (buyin, stacks, blinds, reads, how you've been playing, raise amounts), it's kind of difficult to say (post the original HH?).

If it's a typical sng/tourney type situation, then getting it in on that flop seems fine imo.

 If you were really deep, slowing down would seem like more of an option.

Good luck...

 Ty for response it was a $2 buy in Heads-Up SnG 

 He called a lot of my pf raises ... I did not put him on JJ but rather Jx 

In HINDSIGHT that much action after the flop smacks of two pair or trips ie my overpair is TOAST

 So much to learn!

I don't play heads up SNG's, but seen my father playing those low buy-in things all the time.

From what I've seen, your bets were probably +EV at that level.  They will keep jamming with AJ or even a flush draw in that spot.

BTW, if you didn't get all the money in on the flop, then that Turn card is just about the worst card that could come.  It completes flushes, straights, and even helps out the idiots playing JT.  I'd definatly slow down after that card.

All you are beating after he re-raises your flop raise is AJ/KJ.  I still think it's tough to get away on this one.
