live ~ This was supposed to be a check?

2/2 ~ 9 handed timed rake no bring in

V1 ~ fish eff 200
V2 ~ huge station eff 1100, only raises w/the nuts, calls down with bottom set. Calls super wide preflop(random trash).

V2 limps in utg
some limpers
Hero in mp opens to 10 w/AKQ9
V1 calls in btn
some more callers including v2

6way pot 60
Flop Q74
checks to hero
Hero cbets 30(Only v1 behind us, how bad was this cbet?)
V1 calls
V2 x/r pot to 175(V only does this w/QQ only)
Hero??? We hate life, we wished we had a bit more equity vs v2.

If you're certain he has QQ, then you're drawing to 8 outs. 18.6% chance to hit on the turn. So you need $780 in EV to call off the $145. The pot is $295, which means you need $485 in implied odds. That's approximately 1/2 of V2's remaining stack.

So will villain stack off >50% of the time after the turn hits the flush? Your description implies he will call off 100% of the time, which means you should call. Be prepared to sigh-fold paired boards.

As for "how bad was your cbet?" .. it seems like a bet with mostly downside and no upside.


Nothing inherently wrong with your cbet. You block the top set and have some bdsd's.

OOP has so many autofolds based on playing a weak range and is continuing fd's you dominate. Your hand loves a fold, and loves a continue. XR from villain is bad, given you have k of diamonds, his hand is either a set, or nutlowwrap. QQ much more likely as people limpt this UTG a lot. You can call the raise continue vs pot picking up a Broadway draw. However, this sounds like a player who is not xr 15% of the time, so your adjustment is almost to cbet your entire range.

I think well played vs this opponent, don't be results oriented.


I think flop is a good cbet with properties that generate folds. This deep we should call, especially when station might pay us if we hit.


I think it's fine so far, too. I call expecting better odds when V1 comes along.


Why exactly do we hate life here? I’d be pretty ecstatic that money is going in the middle. Easy call.
