    Default Too Ballsy or Too Weak?

    One of those hands where I probably shouldn't be. What do you guys think? Am I ahead here often enough to play like this? Flop gave a draw-heavy board so I figured when I got the two callers and no re-raise I was most likely ahead. When it got to the river I wasn't sure what I was up against anymore. Should I have bet or gone with the check/call?

    These guys weren't too shit hot so I was unsure whether or not they would slowplay two-pair on a board like that or stay in hoping to hit a king, etc.

    If you are going to complete this hand out of the SB preflop, I dont think you are playing for TP. On the flop I would probably check/fold, hope to see a cheap turn that could give me some outs to improve. Why are you leading for more than the pot here? And with two calls of an overbet, why would you think you are still ahead? On the turn I would not lead, and again I would check/fold. With a 2/3 pot bet and 2 callers again I am not putting anymore money into this pot, Id check/fold the river.

    If you have pokertracker or pokeroffice, look back over your stats and see if QTo is profitable out of the SB.

    Check that turn and fold to a substantial bet. You really don't have much of a hand.
