TT with just above avg stack nearing bubble ($2 stars)

Results 1 to 4 of 4
  1. #1

    Default TT with just above avg stack nearing bubble ($2 stars)

    I pickup TT and standard raise it and get called by a loose deeper stacked player. The two queens scare me but not too much and i check hoping he will bet so i can raise and take the pot down there.

    Was this line screaming weakness? Is this an insta call? I was definately kickiing my self in the face after he pushed overtop.

    I play same, and now fold.

    The weak lead/shove over screams a Q here. Looks like your giving him action.

    As played I don't think it matters much, since you're getting about 2/1 and you are around 2/1 against his range.

    I think leading out or check calling get you a lot more value from the hands you beat.

    I call. Yes he could have the Q, but he also easily has a flush draw or a PP that you dominate.
