CO: $29.65
BTN: $24.58
Hero (SB): $41.03
BB: $12.73
UTG: $3.40
MP: $17.94

Pre-Flop: Q Q dealt to Hero (SB) oooo, queens.
UTG raises to $0.85, UTG is a shortstacking 59/12. I might be behind his raising range, for $3.40, I don't care

MP raises to $2, a 74/21 nutty, halfstacker. already 3 bet once in first 20 hands.
CO folds,
BTN calls $2, 55/9. Full stack, passive. Dead money personified.

Tough one? Nah. All three of these guys play over half their hands. My queens are like trip aces at this point. Squeeze-a-reno.

Hero raises to $8,
BB folds, UTG calls $2.55 and is All-In, 2 folds

One customer, the shortstacker, and all that lovely dead money.

Hero shows Q Q
UTG shows J T Well, I'm a big favorite...

Flop: ($11.05) 5 K Q (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

The good news, I flop a set. The bad news, it helps the villain hit an open ended straight draw. Of course if does...

Turn: ($11.05) J (2 Players - 1 is All-In)
I flinch at the jack, but it only gives him a pair.

River: ($11.05) 4 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)
I win a big pot!


Results: $11.05 Pot ($0.54 Rake)
Hero showed Q Q and WON $10.51 (+$7.21 NET)
UTG showed J T and LOST (-$3.40 NET)
