    Default Call or Push here w/ 2 Pair?

    Lately I have been getting killed at the samll ring game on Empire, but consider it a cheep lesson as I am cleaning up at higher levels. I am playing NL25 here to clear the Nov bonus and getting scooled. I thought I really donked this hand. Opponent was pretty tight/agressive and re-raised my re-raise. I think I at least call here, but the straight is beckoning.


    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    Hero ($24.10)
    Button ($24.65)
    SB ($28.43)
    BB ($7.50)
    UTG ($96.48)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with J:spade:, Q:club:. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
    1 fold, Hero calls $0.25, Button calls $0.25, SB (poster) completes, BB checks.

    Flop: ($1) K:spade:, 9:spade:, Q:heart: (4 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $0.3, Button calls $0.30, SB folds, BB folds.

    Turn: ($1.60) J:club: (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.3, Button raises to $0.6, Hero raises to $3, Button raises to $7.

    Hero?

    Fold. You're in a trap hand.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    In retrospect, I never should have re-raised him in the first place. I think I forgot anbout the 9 being there. To combat this error I thought perhaps donating my stack might help the situation a bit (tilting?). I don't know what the hell I was thinking. Pretty much the most moronic play of the day I think for me.

    Hero is all-In [$20.55]
    Button calls [$16.55].

    Yeah, I vote for a fold here. Call, and you only face another bet on the river. It's a shame to fold two pair, but it's a really weak holding with this action and this board.

    OK, there is consensus. A fold was in order here. This is a case where I just got very lucky. I still deserve a kick in the balls for this play.

    ** Dealing River ** [ Qs ]
    Button shows [ Ad, Td ] a straight, ten to ace.
    Hero shows [ Js, Qc ] a full house, Queens full of jacks.
    Hero wins $46.70 from the main pot with a full house, Queens full of jacks.

    The great thing about the stupid turn bet is that it sets up an easy call of the stupid turn raise.
