QQ with bad river card

Image
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 conve...

Set mining with 2s

Set mining can be profitable but you need to make sure there is enough money available to make it worthwhile.  When the set doesn't come on the flop (which it usually won't) then you want to see the turn card cheap (or for free is even better).  In this end the turn card gives flushes and straights or draws to the table.  How would you play the turn card?

How do you play pocket 6s out of position?

After 51 hands the villain has stats of VP 10 and PF 8.  A real nit? His AF on the flop is 0. Wts 67% and WSD 50%.  You call his preflop raise with your pair of 6s but find yourself out of position. How do you play this hand?

A bad call with the lowest set?

Hitting a set with your small pair is great.  This villian has played 58 hands against you and has figures of VP 53% and PF 13%.  That's a wide range to hit this flop. He gets very aggressive on the river with AF figures of 2/1/1/5. How would you play this hand?
