    Dealt to Boonaru :Ah: :Qh:
    TupacizAlive folds.
    Boonaru raises [$2].
    damonelder folds.
    oldfashion folds.
    StwickerIIII folds.
    hi_hand calls [$1].
    mrxxman folds.
    sm880 folds.
    CALL_I_DARE raises [$7.5].
    BoraHorza folds.
    Boonaru calls [$6]. [I didn't like the big re-raise, but I think its worth calling]
    hi_hand folds.
    ** Dealing Flop ** [ 2h, 3h, 3s ]
    CALL_I_DARE bets [$20].pot size here is 19$, I have 9 outs for the flush and likely 3 more outs for the ace. I think he is playing high pocket pairs but unlikely AA. He has 38,5 $ left and I am counting on having to call the whole lot of it if I go on. So 38,5/93=0.414. If I have 12 outs the call is good and with 9 outs its a bad call. I decide to call and give myself 12 outs. Remember in these situations its important to take a glance at your opponents stack size and not just what it would cost to see the next card
    Boonaru calls [$20].
    ** Dealing Turn ** [ 6s ]
    CALL_I_DARE is all-In.
    Boonaru calls [$18.5].
    ** Dealing River ** [ As ]
    CALL_I_DARE shows [ Qs, Qc ] two pairs, queens and threes.
    Boonaru shows [ Ah, Qh ] two pairs, aces and threes. Turns out I was right and had 12 outs on both the turn and river. I was told after the hand what an idiot I was for calling his 'huge' bets. Boonaru wins $93 from the main pot with two pairs, aces and threes.

    himself fucker.
    I like it. My one question is reguarding the pot bet on the flop. What were you trying to accomplish? Pot commiting yourself? Representing a hand?

    If I was in the pocket queens position, I would have pushed simply reading you for JJ or TT.

    hmm I called his bet. I would have liked to see the next card cheaper yes, but figured calling was the right thing to do by reasoning in the hand history.
