Flopped two fair facing triple barrel

Flopped two fair facing triple barrel

SB £1 / BB £1

UTG opens 4bb (200bb / £200)
MP calls (250bb / £250)
HJ calls (300bb / £300)
Hero calls BTN 4c3c (covers)

The main Villain in this hand is the HJ who hasn't played many hands in the time I have seen him play seems tight overall

Flop Qc4h3d (18bb / £18)
UTG checks
MP checks
HJ bets 20bb / £20
Hero calls
UTG and MP fold

I called with his huge sizing. Should I normally be raising here?

Turn 2s (58bb / £58)
HJ bets 50bb / £50
hero calls

at this point I was deciding on calling or folding as he has bet twice for very large sizing and the flop bet was into 3 players

River 6d (158bb / £158)
HJ bets 50bb / £50
Hero??

I think at this point I only really beats a bluff or maybe some AQ or KQ if he bets this sizing with them. However I am getting 4/1 on a call

You beat more than just a bluff or a big queen, I would call the river. He probably had AQ if I were to guess (I'm not too worried about him having a 5 in his range).


Also it looks like it's a blocker bet since he bet pot/pot/a 3rd pot


I'd probably raise the flop, since your baby two-pair is kind of vulnerable, and I'd like to target the PF raiser to see how far he wants to go if he has Qx/KK/AA

Yeah I could raise I assume the PFR wont have a very strong hand since they didn't bet flop. I was more concerned about raising flop after a large bet and still have the OR to act

aarrrggg...I misread the action...rereading the hand, the flop check seems fine, especially with how dry this board is.


This feels like a pretty trivial call on the river. Sure he may have a set, but unlikely a 5 in his range given description and that he lead into 3 people on Flop. He's also got more than enough Queens in his range to justify a call given the odds. Not sure raise is worth it given I doubt he's calling anything worse.


You need to find a raise at some point. Your hand is functionally equivalent to a set of 3's here. If you haven't seen V play too many hands its really unlikely he's opening Q4/Q3 from UTG.
