any comments/complaints/analysis/donk needling ? should i bet out/check on the river? bad check on the turn? [was worried about a flush] weak raise pf? [looking at it now, i should have gone up about 1000-1200 or so]

With two limpers, I'd at least raise it to 1200 with a premium hand like QQ. You don't want 1/2 the table calling your weak bet just like what happened in your hand.

Postflop, I'm betting something but it would depend on who was left in the hand and how many chips my opponent hand and such - I'm sure you wouldn't have as many callers as you did.

I make it 1200 preflop
If I just get callers, I'm pushing this flop all day long.


I wrote out what I'd do on the turn, since you did not raise to 1200 preflop..but..nah I deleted it..lets nip it in the bud and raisae more preflop

Raise more pre-flop, and then push that flop. Terrible raise there with those limpers...

Good rule for a pf raise is 3-4x the BB PLUS 1 BB for every limper....so, pf, bet 1000-1200....and with QQ I'd lean toward 1200 (if not a bit more). Your puny raise gave these guys odds to play most hands, including the guy who was accidentally dealt two SORRY cards.


Bet the pot on the flop.

As you played it, on the turn the pot is ~6500 and he's got 2700 left...put him all in.

As previously stated, bet more on the flop is the biggest issue. As you played it, I probably push the turn. River, I check and dump if he bets.
