This guy was suspected to be an aggressive idiot. On the flop, I was thinking maybe AJ or a set of 3's/J's... but then he checked behind me on the turn?Then I thought I was pretty dsafe on the river having made top 2 pair, and there being no way he has KT. Then he reraises me again.... and now I'm totally confused; oh wait, he made a 15$ reraise with an underpair and pulled a 1 outer. Now it makes sense.

Please use the hand converter from now on.And I think you should have led on the turn. People can make a move on the flop and then slow down if called. If you lead at the turn and get raised again, you let the hand go because you are beat. But, yeah, that was quite the lucky break for the guy.

here's a question, why didn't you reraise on the flop and then check the turn. With no reads I like my hand here more often than not. Since they called a big raise PF and didn't reraise you the only things that beat you on the flop are AK and a set of jacks(I'd assume they'd reraise AA, but I should include top set in things that beat you). You need to pop this one up to about $45, calling was just a bad play there. Checking the turn with TPSBK is just awful IMO. Also don't post results

Or a better one, why are you making that bet on the flop here.There are a lot of holes in bets like this.You have what is almost always the best hand at this flop, but it is not strong enough to get cute with. You really have to protect this hand on the flop. I could see argument for a C/R if you had information on the players, but the almost always correct move here is at least a pot sized bet.To any good player with a strong hand like Q-Q, this flop bet is going to tell him he has huge fold equity.MP1 plays this hand very well I believe, or maybe I think this because it is how I would play it.If I were in MP1 here, this flop would frighten me. My best hope would be that the PF raiser shows weakness here. Your half-pot bet would tell me, if I were MP1, that I must have tremendous fold equity here. I would put the bettor on a suited weak ace or KQ or something that I could move him off of here with such a small bet. He doesn't know that you are strong here obviously, but his read on the flop here does many things for his advantage. It gives him a free turn card, with another chance to bluff at it with position, and it gives him a free river if he chooses.You have to bet the flop at least $10, which he would probably fold if he were smart, and almost definitely wouldn't raise, which would give you another chance to move him off of his hand on the turn.Just my thoughts.

Would you guys really consider reraising that flop to 40?
