is it me?

TVSpice

i am bb.  i have q/10.

flop is q/10/2

i raise 4 x bb and get called

turn another 2

i raise 8 times bb and get called

river ace - no flush on table

get beat cos original caller had j/2. 

should i have folded my q/10 when he called my 8 x bb or was i right in thinking he was fishing or had a q with a high kicker or is play on the tables just questionable?  was my raising wrong with flop and turn?

can take the criticism as long as constructive, rather not have it if just saying i am bad player!

I think your just a bad player lol i hope this helps

loonytoons

seriously you were just unlucky me thinks, its ok saying you should of folded when we know the cards but imo you didnt do a lot wrong, It would be really hard for anyone to fold your hand- i wouldnt have.

the 2nd 2 should have sent out alarm bells, perhaps a smaller feeler bet but only my view

One point.. did you raise pre with q/10?  If you did not then that let in some garbage

WAS THERE ANY ACTION PREFLOP?

The villian called your 4xbb raise with bottom pair and got lucky, I don't think you did anything wrong

TVSpice

no was bb, wouldn't have played em normally as not suited and far too many options to lose especially as full table of callers.

take ur point Torry but i still find it hard to believe that anyone would call my 4 x bb after flop

I think you were just unlucky he thought to call with bottom pair and hit trips.

difficult to say J2 was wrong without knowing stack sizes...

I wouldnt recommend worrying too much over Q/10 being suited or not. Only adds 3% or so to your hand value and Q high isnt the best of flushes to be in with.

Personally I rarely play Q/10 at all.

Without raising pre the J2 player prob felt you only had a pair of 2's or nothing, so ur bet on flop he could have down as a bluff. You raise 3x bb pre - then C bet on flop, he would prob put you on a pair of Queens at the least and MAY have dropped hishand. Unlukcy

totally agree with u, but could fold as was big blind and every other player on table had called the blinds so to raise pre flop seemed daft as very good chance that i had at least a king or ace ahead of me.  guess unlucky it was just the bet with a j/2 in the first place that puzzled me, let alone calling my 4 x bb, think i am too tight on sometimes and too stupid on others

Hi Miss Spice. (See, I remembered!).

You did nothing wrong. 100%.

If he (has to be Male, no Lady would make such a bad call.....) called a Q-T-2 flop bet with J-2, he'd probably call a Pre-Flop Raise, too. 

Some plays are just unfathomable. This was one such.

He will lose every night, guaranteed, if he plays that way, & 9 times out of 10, or whatever, he misses his third 2, but still Calls you, & you get the lot.

Don't worry - you did nothing wrong here at all - I'd look for the villain here and try and sit next to him every day

zxghostxz

he called after hittin the flop. prob he wasent sure wether u had hit the flop. so he called yer  bet after the flop and got lucky........once the 2 come pairin the board maby id av bet 8 x the bb and not 12 but i dont think u done out wrong... just unlucky...............you dont say wether u raised pre flop with the q 10 ile asume you did....if you diddent put a raise in pre flop...in a sense this is wat happens..sum 1 gets lucky.......but without the preflop raise you bring it on yor self in a way even no there still got lucky.. g. l. in the future .....

dont think there is much wrong with your play here, and as for the villain, it is difficult to say without knowing all the facts.  These include how active you have been recently, stealing pots etc, and how much the villain saw you as defending your big blind.  That may lead the villain to make the initial call.  Once they get lucky and hit the set of 2's, they are going nowhere, so its just one of those hands that happen.

As said previously, most of the time you win a decent pot on that flop, so dont worry about it, and carry on in the same manner. Remeber, how others perceive you at the table will affect how they play against you in a hand, and how much respect they have for your bet.

Good point on the table image Buisty. I remember learning this lesson. A guy calls a big pre-flop raise from me. he's out of position. He calls another bet on the flop and then moves me in. I fold and he shows. he caught his trips on the turn with a 7 4os starting hand.

His response to my question on how could he call with it pre flop ???? "Because it was YOU" flashes up in the chat box. Ahh the realisation of just how aggresive with junk i had been lol

early in the game and probably the first hand i had played - folded other bb or sb.  i am quite a tight player as a rule (sometimes do think i should be a bit looser on occasions but am not a great bluffer!)  Blinds therefore were quite small and game a deepstack - 30/60 if memory serves me correctly  - so not a lot to fold on and not a lot to gain by bluffing for rest of tables calls to my position.

thanks everyone for comments tho, do feel better as a result of reading them cos sometimes u doubt ur own sanity at times!!

don't think you did anythin wrong. seen this happen and had it happen to me in MTT. Found only thing is all in. real risky and not a strategy I like as it takes out a large part of the fun and skill from the game.
