Comments in bold as always. I'm going to post the results for this one later on today, because it's got a funny ending. Lucassy is short stacked here. 1917 and I have big stacks.

I think I made a ton of mistakes sin this hand, but want opinions.

** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to Ray_Powers [ Qs Qd ]
--- I like pocket queens.
Check, 1917 Raise, Fold, spyderblack call, flutterby5738 call
--- Immediate mistake number one, I have no idea why I did not reraise here.
Ray_Powers Call ($0.20), helpnclass call, Fold, Lucassy Call, Kinbaku Call, Mariuz Call.
--- What the heck does everyone have? This table is loose but not this loose
** Dealing Flop ** : [ 8s 6s 4s ]
--- Over pair seems like it should be good. Unless someone has two spades already.
3 Checks, 1917 Bet, spyderblack raise, flutterby5738 call.
--- Once again, I think I should have reraised here. I am not sure if I was scared of the spade flop and calling it down from here or what. If a fourth spade hit, I would have at least had third nut flush.
Ray_Powers Call, fold, Lucassy Call, 2 Folds, 1917 Call
** Dealing Turn ** : [ 9d ]
--- Nothing scary there.
2 Checks, spyderblack bet, flutterby5738 call.
--- At this point, I am obviously in check/call it down mode. The question for everyone is , should I have been? I still have an over pair.
Ray_Powers Call. Lucassy raise (all in), 1917 Call, spyderblack call, flutterby5738 call, Ray_Powers call.
** Dealing River ** : [ Jc ]
--- So q-10 filled up, but do I really think anyone has q-10 here? No, not really.
3 Checks
--- Checked to me?! I almost fet like it was a trap. Sticking with the check call theory, I didn't feel I could bet this. I had a hard time thinking that everyone missed their hand suddenly.
Ray_Powers Check
** Summary **
Main Pot: $3.75 | Rake: $0.15

Thoughts?

Ray

I don't think you want our thoughts on this one.

Raise preflop.
Raise the flop.
Raise the turn.
Bet the river...or check it, whatever...the hand was a mess anyways.

nah. I do. I want verification that I truly effed it up Best way to learn.

Ray

Well lets see i'll list some mistakes

#1 you have to 3 bet this preflop. No matter what limits you're playing QQ is a hand that you need to 3 bet.

#2 this flop is awesome for you. You have the third nut flush draw and an overpair. I'm raising / capping this.

#3 turn you still have an overpair. So bet that.

#4 do you honestly think a 2 pair, set or flush is checking that river?

Raise.
Raise.
Bet / Raise.
I think you get my drift.

You said you like pocket queens. That's true. So raise. Seriously. Raise.

I only have a defense to number four. Yes I do think they are. They are donkeys. I expect them to act like donkeys. I expect them to make weird plays like an attempted check raise on the river.

For the other three, i got no dukes.

Ray

Basically just keep hitting the Raise/Raise Any Button.

Seems to have quieted down, so now, the funky results:

1917 bet $0.66, collected $1.88, net +$1.22 [ Kh Ks ] [ one pair of
kings -- Ks Kh Jc 9d 8s ]
spyderblack bet $0.66, collected $1.87, net +$1.21 [ Kc Kd ] [ one pair
of kings -- Kd Kc Jc 9d 8s ]
flutterby5738 lost $0.66 [ 5s 5d ] [ one pair of fives -- 5s 5d Jc 9d
8s ]
Ray_Powers lost $0.66 [ Qs Qd ] [ one pair of queens -- Qs Qd Jc 9d 8s
]
LUCASSY lost $0.66 [ Ac Jd ] [ one pair of jacks -- Jd Jc Ac 9d 8s ]
sits out

This was apparently to see who was the biggest retard. I think its a close call (including me).
