why i don't like QJs

[donnybaker]

I made some mistakes here but what do you make of this? Early in SnG (2nd hand) so no real reads on the opps. This is a 'stars $22.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Hero (t1620)
Button (t1420)
SB (t1480)
BB (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1500)
MP1 (t1480)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q, J.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t20, 1 fold, MP2 calls t20, 1 fold, Hero calls t20, 2 folds, BB raises to t100, UTG+1 calls t80, MP2 calls t80, Hero calls t80.

Flop: (t410) 2, J, 9 (4 players)
BB bets t100, UTG+1 folds, MP2 calls t100, Hero raises to t300, BB calls t200, MP2 calls t200.

Turn: (t1310) T (3 players)
BB bets t200, MP2 calls t200, Hero calls t200.

River: (t1910) 9 (3 players)
BB checks, MP2 bets t900 (All-In), Hero ... ?

I'm thinking the main mistake was continuing with the hand after 2 players call my flop raise (turn gave me oesd though). Additionally on the river villain could just be making a move thinking the original raiser missed and I displayed weakness by just calling the turn bet. Actually if he checked to me I might have done this. Anyway I'm thinking there's not much I'm ahead of here...

I haven 't read the post yet... but is that Donny Baker as in From Bob And Tom? That's the best screen name ever... I Swear To God It is!

On the hand... Hero Folds when Raised after limping.

You win! First one to mention it. Great show!

Oh yeah, and I think you're right, this should be a preflop fold.

I don't mind the preflop limp but agree with Fortune, fold to the raise. On the flop, I raise to the size of the pot (600), if this gets called I try to check it down unless I hit big on the turn.

My guess is that MP2 has AJ/KJ or 22/99, I don't think JJ would have limped.

[donnybaker]

Yeah, I folded the river. He had me or at least my hand wasn't strong enough to call. Original raiser folded as well.

pf play aside, I would probably push the turn, but then I would have raised more on the flop as well, so I would have less money behind, but more in the pot. OESD plus outs for 2 pair plus TP plus a bit of fold equity equals all of my chips in the pot.

Interesting. This is kind of what I was looking for, ways to play a hand like this specifically in SnGs. Now I'm torn between calling and pushing the turn.
