    Well, sir, you should have called. Loose micro limit game, you have a wired top pair, and you fold to a 1/4 pot sized bet?

    I suppose I didn't like the fact that there could be a one card straight or a flush on the board and I didn't want to lose any money (even though shit like this is why i'm losing money).

    His re-raise scared me but he ended up not having shit.

    Wastin' away again in margaritaville....
    Take a note that the guy overbets his weakish hands and move on. Its a scary board and in the micros you have no idea what they have. If you had that read before this hand, call all the way.
    However, I haven't noticed too many people semi-bluffing into a strt/flush friendly board at the low limits. I may have called here just because his raising all the way feels more like a pair with kicker than an overpair or better. You can raise big with those types of hands preflop to weed out the chaff but you will probably only get called occasionally.

    Dream flop for queens. Push. UTG raiser likely has overcards-only, or a worse PP than you. Raise with 2X the pot or all your stack.

    I dont play NL here, but this is a definate raise preflop, followed by the push on the flop.

    Then, since you didnt do that, you should at least call the river, otherwise fold the turn. Why else would you call the turn if you were just going to fold the river for the same size bet? Also, this pot is protected, With the one guy going all in, you can still win the side pot here from MP2 and still lose the main pot. QQ with no overs is golden....
