So I’ve been working very hard at not going broke with an overpair, or just one pair on a scary board. I didn’t, but maybe should have been a little more willing to push chips around. This is me taking a stab at a level one step higher than I usually play, which may have contributed to the timidity. I’d love critique from folks who would have played this differently.
Table 'Hamal II' 9-max Seat #8 is the button
Seat 1: Jhartness ($93.65 in chips)
Seat 2: H-BOMB151 ($187.20 in chips)

Seat 5: VampireFox ($29.85 in chips)
Seat 6: TeacherB ($51.60 in chips)
Seat 7: jameskeene ($63.90 in chips)
Seat 8: wjpower77 ($49.65 in chips)

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Jhartness [Qc Qd]
Yippee, Queens. Fuck.
H-BOMB151: folds
jjf3851: folds
W F S: calls $1
VampireFox: folds
TeacherB: folds
jameskeene: calls $1
wjpower77: folds
ovalgood: calls $0.50
Jhartness: raises $2 to $3
W F S: calls $2
jameskeene: calls $2
ovalgood: calls $2
Hmmm. Expected jameskeene to call, he wants to see every flop, and expected WFS to call, too, he defends his blinds. Didn’t expect the third guy. Hmmmm.
*** FLOP *** [2s 9h Js]
Brilliant! My overpair is solid, but there are flush draws out there. Lets go about ¾ pot to make them think first before they chase the flush.
ovalgood: checks
Jhartness: bets $8
W F S: calls $8
jameskeene: folds
ovalgood: folds
Hmmm. OK. That went well, except he’s the best of the three. Still on the flush draw, with the As, maybe?
*** TURN *** [2s 9h Js] [4s]
Jhartness: bets $10
Fuck. Spade. Where am I?
W F S: raises $15 to $25
Fuck. Really? Was he chasing that whole time? Is he jamming me with some straight draw, trying to make a move? For $15 I feel like I need to see the river.
Jhartness: calls $15
*** RIVER *** [2s 9h Js 4s] [Tc]
Now WTF do I do?
Jhartness: checks
W F S: bets $35
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I went into the tank for a while, using up most of my time bank. Two Pair makes the most sense. A flush draw would have been a stupid call on the flop. Maybe a set of 9s. I am not going broke with just a big pair right here.
Jhartness: folds
W F S collected $75 from pot
W F S: shows [Qh Jc] (a pair of Jacks)
Well. Nice of him to show me how badly I got outplayed. Nicely done, dude. Excuse me while I sit out to go smash my keyboard in the carport like that dude on the FSP video on YouTube.

Tough to be honest, but I might have checked on the turn, then come over the top...but you would have to be committed to a strong bet on the river.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM HEADSHOT!!!
Cracks me up everytime.
Check-raise on the turn would probably tell you more if you were beat.
