I have just finished a big 3 hour session on Stars and went down 2 buy ins before this hand was dealt.

(Bare in mind too that i only play at 2-5 cent and i was only playing with 3.50 at this table) i had started with $5

I get dealt Qd 9d Qc 5s on the button.

UTG villain raises 3x and me and the BB flat call.

Flop comes Kd, 7d, 9c UTG checks, i lead out for $0.20 and get 2 callers. pot is at 1.05

Jack of diamonds on the turn. Villain under the gun checks i value bet 0.35 in the pot, get called by BB and UTG checkraises the pot.

I tank and then fold. Given that the villain probably put either me or the BB on a flush that we would either be valuing or be flatting on to disguise the strength of our hand. From my perspective i honestly thought the BB may well have had the nuts and even if UTG was out of line i might get caught as 2nd best.

in the end i am at a loss as to whether i played it right and whether the fold was correct given the action and given the player tends to checkraise only sparingly.

was my first mistake playing too long session? may have impacted my decision making if i was wrong

thanks in advance

Um micro you shouldn't have called an utg raise with your hand imo just because in mircostakes you should just play tight ... and with second pair...second best flush draw I deff woulnt lead out.. and the fold wasn't bad though since you were not really commited.. your spr was 7 and a second best draw with middle air I might have commited if I was the preflop raiser.. and I would most likly commit my self if my spr was just 7 and I was up against only 1 opponant

post in the cash game hand analysis section/use a hand converter

post reads and stats on the players involved in the hand

reload to 100 BBs

fold preflop -- your hand is not going to flop anything ever really except for top set and dominated straight draws and that's not really exciting. When you get a dream flop with QJx with 2 diamonds you'd be surprised at how low your equity is vs. a sane range of hands that get it in on the flop with you.

as played, I bet the flop (probably bigger) and bet-folding the turn would be standard vs. like 98% of 5 PLO donks. in general folding the 2nd nut flush is no big deal in PLO, 2nd nut full house is a fold most of the time vs. heavy action.

yeh i was going to appologize in advance for not posting this in the correct section. i havn't been on here for 2 years and i think this is only like my 11th post. Thanks for the info

i think in a fairly tight game at a low limit stake a player is only going to be check raising with the nuts. I also had one other player who was acting behind me to worry about
