    Default good call with unpaired AK?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    Hero ($4.50)
    UTG ($3.52)
    UTG+1 ($1.71)
    MP1 ($2.15)
    MP2 ($2.37)
    CO ($2.53)
    Button ($6.28)
    SB ($2.98)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with K, A.
    1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $0.06, 3 folds, Button calls $0.06, SB calls $0.05, Hero raises to $0.18, UTG+1 calls $0.12, Button calls $0.12, SB calls $0.12.

    Flop: ($0.72) Q, Q, 3 (4 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, Button checks.

    Turn: ($0.72) 8 (4 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $0.08, Button folds, SB folds, Hero calls $0.08.

    River: ($0.88) 9 (2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG+1 checks.

    Final Pot: $0.88

    Results in white below:
    Hero has Kh Ac (one pair, queens).
    UTG+1 has Jh Ah (one pair, queens).
    Outcome: Hero wins $0.88.


    I called the turn because i thought i had enough outs. I planned to fold the river to a huge bet thinking it quite likely from his preflop raise that he had a small PP which had either made a fullhouse or 2 pair. i planned to value bet/ call a small river bet if i paired my A or K on the river and think about it if i didnt.... but probably not.
    Was the turn call a good call?
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    Of course it's a good call. You only have to win 1 out of 8 pots to justify it.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.
