First online game in some time. Trying to get the feel back so was playing tighter than usual VPIP 22% PFR 11% Total AF 2.00. I have gotten to this point by winning two hands with weak full houses on some scary boards. Probably should have more chips but meekly made bets on the river in both hands. COuld have got more value but that may be another post. In any case, I have shown down all geat hands.(preflop both times with mid to low pairs)

This was hand 60.

Villain's numbers were VPIP 29% PFR 3% total AF 0.52. In last 2 circuits I had seen him starting to get more aggro post flop and was caught in a bluff
(Raised with T7 and raised flop gutshot then checked turn, bet river stone cold.)

I believe villain is full of beans with the flop bet on rainbow board. I think I only have a T8 to worry about but I had hoped my image greatly discounted hand. I think villain would have played set or two pair a little weaker(I could be wrong) You can critique all but mainly.......

Very confident that I was ahead should I have called then pushed turn if not another straight card or is my line right here. Seemed right to me but now I think I should have milked a little more.

Looks pretty standard to me

Looks good to me. QQ is a vulnerable enough hand that you don't want to get too greedy. I mean, are you still going to push the turn if a K or especially an A pops up? And you can't make a standard reraise as that would be for over half your stack--so a shove seems in order.

Boy, you really butchered the HH/converting process.
cubbybri
Thanks Zach. icon_confused.gif

I don't post too many hands and convertor wouldn't put in the chip stacks so I cut and pasted from the PT hand history that part. I also was dumb to put the Hero? part in since my pushing part was already in.

This is first hand I got converter to agree with me at all so just be patient. At least I tried to convert which is more than some, hehe. I was rushing too, so my apologies for the hack job.

It will get better.

Think I gave enough time. Probably knew standard but thought I could prevent a suckout better doing it on turn..... after the fact.

I was called A9s and he back doored a flush on me.

Thems the breaks but outside results(which may be why I posted icon_biggrin.gif ) I wanted to double check if this was best way to get value against the loose bluffing opponent.

lol, yeah, it's pretty standard.

For the stacks, you just have to make sure you check the box for tourney hands. You can save your settings and everything so you'll only have to do it once.

Do most people consider 5BB a standard PF raise w/ QQ?

Not a chance.

EDIT - I was thinking of a different thread... ignore me, as usual. tongue.gif

With two players limping in, then that's standard as I like to add at least 1BB per limper if I have a premium starting hand like QQ If I'm opening, then I like something around 3xBB on average.

As for the hand, seems fine. Any raise pot commits you on the flop so you might as well jam it all in.
