Got to love a perfect flop that you have a 50% chance of doubling or losing your tabled stack

Playing $1/$3 at the Rio for about 30 mins and get dealt a very marginal hand Qh 6h on the button. Three limp in before I decide to limp in when the SB raises to 15. He is a very tight player from what Ive seen in the short time ive been there so figure I'd fold unless two others call. Sure enough two others call so I toss in my $15. Flop is beautiful for my garbage cards 7h 5s 4h. Preflop raiser makes it $30 to go with one caller one folder to me. I have only $140 left on the table total so I decide to just try and double up and push it in. I'm positive the lead has JJ or better and I'm ok with that. If its JJ I'm slightly over 50% I think and 49-50% if its higher. Sure enough it goes brick brick for me and he turns up Kh Kd . I'm ok with losing there. I think I would take that kind of race every chance I could. What about you?

Even if you put him on 88+, you are a 57% favourite...and if you put him on JJ+, you are still a 55% favourite. Go all in.

If you're not willing to race in that spot, there's no point in playing the Q6 at all. Shove as the slight favorite and got for the win.

simply genius

Not to mention the possibility that he folds and you take whats in the pot.

Count me in...

if you have to ask questions like this don't play hands like q6s, even from the button.

FYP

Yummy.

True, the OP shouldn't of been in the hand at all. But if you're fishy with marginal/crappy hands and you hit that draw, its a fistpumpinstashove.

Gah twice in one week I lose with such a beautiful flop hehe
