Playing Queens in a Multiway Pot?

By
Microstakes 1c/2c 6max. 12 hands on villain 3 with VP 100, PF 73 and 3Bet 60.  Only 1 hand on villian 3 and so they are a complete unknown.

When both villians call the preflop raise and the raise on the flop we know we are in trouble...but wait for the hands.

Basic Tips for a Beginner

By
In this blog post, I'll share with you some tips to help you, a low stakes online player looking to improve your game, so that you become a more successful player and take your game to the next level. Start with a solid preflop strategy Preflop play is the foundation of any poker hand, and it's essential to have a good understanding of it. In 6 max games, your opening range will vary depending on your position and the table dynamics. Make sure you adjust your range based on the actions of your opponents and stay aware of their playing styles. When you are first starting the game, tight and aggressive is easiest to play...though beginners often aren't aggressive enough. Pay attention to your opponents Your opponents are your biggest source of information in poker. Try to pick up on their tendencies and patterns and adjust your strategy accordingly. For example, if you notice that a player is very tight, you can take advantage of their conservative play by bluffing more freq

Reading and studying poker either online, reading forums, talking to friends or reading books always leads to different tips and tricks.  Deciphering which tips you are going to employ in your play takes time.  Whenever I ask a question about a hand I have played almost always the response is 'it depends' and then questions are asked about stack sizes, player behaviour, position, number of callers, number of limpers, history of the players, table image.  All of these are of course relevant questions and when developing as a poker player more and more I am able to ask myself these questions and consider how I want to play the hand.  Being able to do this consistently of course is key and still something that I want to develop in my game. Probably the one piece of advice that sticks with me however is one that I read in one of the Harrington on Holdem books.  If you haven't read any of these they should definitely be part of your library.  Harrington has books on both cash

QQ with bad river card

So in this hand I am happy with the play preflop and flop.  The flop is pretty good I think since I will get calls from lower pairs and flush draws. Betting the turn seems a good move too when the Jd hits.  The flush draw is still there, but weaker, and no overcards.  I am still going to bet out looking for value from lower pairs and charging the draws. I am sure that if the button has hit a set he would be raising the flop and if he hasn't done that he would almost certainly be raising the turn.  He doesn't so I think that I am still good. Then the river card comes. The cooler.  There is a big question as to whether the villain has got right the way to the river with just an over card, or possibly A2, A4, A8 or AJ I suppose.  Of course he might need to bluff the river with a busted flush draw. So I check on the river and see what he does..and he shoves.  Should I call or fold? PokerStars - $0.02 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players Hand converted by PokerTracker 4 BT
