Online Poker Forum - 25/50 QQ on ace high flop in a capped pot

WhatASurprise

Am I calling down here, or should I just fold the flop, even though I have backdoor hearts and queens?

If you think he is bluffing, then go ahead and call it down. I wouldn't let the back door stuff affect my decision here.

Im getting over 17-1 on a call here, so 3,5 outs is more than enough to take into consideration imo.

Let me rethink here. If you are assuming he has an ace, you have 2 outs with the Qs. I don't think I would count more than 1 out for the other stuff. Even 3 outs give you odds to call it I guess plus implied odds make it that much better.

P.S. I really shouldn't be commenting on limit cash games.

Sorry, miscalculated the Qh.
2,5 outs is still enough, though.
The main questions was more about me calling down, if he will take that line with non- ace hands which I`m ahead of. I think the only hands he might do it with that I beat are 89 and KQhh, QJhh and other random high SCs of hearts.

I stoved it, and I am a 4-1 dog against his range OTF, and I only have about 3% equity OTT, thus making it a clear fold.

I guess what are you hoping for here, jj on down that doesn't have a set or spastic flush draw?

Like someone said it depends on villain and what villain thinks of you, does villain think you were trying to isolate pf? Does villain 3 bang light? Against a solid player that doesn't get out of line I 3b the flop and see what he does. All other players I take the medicine and cd occasionally spiking a set (which is occasionally no good Smile
