Lost with QQ on the river again

[given1982]

I don't know what my problem is with these hands.

This was on Red Star, so I didn't have stats at the table. I hadn't really noticed villain that much, which means that he's not a total fish, and he's not super aggro either. UTG is a multitabling nit.

I feel like no hands that I beat will call a 3rd barrel except maybe TT or JJ. But I do think that worse hands bet (missed draws and possibly some underpairs), along with every hand that beats me. Shove or c/c? I'm guessing that no one thinks c/f is an option.

Yeah I'd never be able to c/f here but then again I am a micro stakes player lol. Unless your being slow played by a hand like 4 4 or 3 3, I'd think your Queens are good. I'd c/c the river since busted draws aren't calling a shove and a check could induce a bluff. If they have 33,44 or 99 that's just a cooler. It depends on how well you know villain too I guess. Would they just call preflop with TT or JJ or would they 3 bet?

I would make a small bet, to get a call from any pp. If you bet like 14$-19$ you should get called by almost all pp.

you have less than a PSB left on the river. I think I have to shove it in here and he will most likley call with those hands you beat as well. I think that there is more value in betting here than there is in hoping he will bet his worst hands.

[no eff eks]

I'm not sure what you're putting him on that beats you. If he's not a fish this line reeks of a sticky player with 77-JJ possibly AKdd.... Since I think a shove allows him to fold too many of those hands I like a bet of like $20.

you are pretty much commited to the pot getting over 2:1 on basically everything, i actually like a c/c because this allows missed draws to bluff at the pot.

I shove all day. This is a spot where you need to be going for value. Villain will call this with most pocket pairs. Don't be afraid to get value

This was my play and thought process at the table. Villain snap called with 44. Although I try not to post bad beat/cooler hands that don't have strategy value, I'm sure there was some of that going on here. But when I thought about what hands I was taking to valuetown, the list wasn't very long.
