    Default bodonkity donk - QQ vs 60bb stack - turn/river questions

    can't export the hand history, but here is my recreation. I was new to the table, so no reads. In general I've seen a lot of loose passives in short hand but haven't played much full ring there.

    9 handed, $1-$2 blinds
    stacks:
    SB - villain - $121
    UTG - me - about $200. Dealt Q Q

    Blinds post, I raise to $8, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds, MP1 calls, 2 folds, SB calls, BB folds.

    Flop (4 players, pot=$34) 8 8 5

    SB checks, I bet $24, 2 folds, SB calls

    Turn (2 players, pot =$82) T

    SB checks and has $89 left. Hero checks (bet?)

    River (2 players, pot =$82) 3

    SB bets $20.5 Hero shoves for value (bad?)

    If you're going for the free showdown (ie, the check on the turn), then use it. You won't get called by a worse hand here (unless he has JJ). As played I call the river.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

    Hmm...just call. I'm sure some +EV calculation would be appropriate here calculating the chances he has JJ or 99 here and will payoff a push and the chances he has an 8.

    I think just calling is best though, especially in full ring (not that i'm any good at it but I imagine more people are nut-camping).
    Family Cruise IMO
