How long do you hold onto Queens?

Hello all,So I was playing in a sit n go with my poker league yesterday, was doing okay, there were 6 players left and I had ~1.5x starting stack (~7500).
I wake up with Queens on the hijack, and it is folded down to me and I raise 4bb.
Button folds and the blinds call.
Flop comes out low with 2 hearts, checked to me and I bet about half the pot. Small blind calls, BB folds.
The turn is a off suit 10, and the small blind bets about half the pot and I call.
River is another low heart, small blind checks and I check.
Showdown I show my Queens and the small blind slowly turns over deuces (he had hit a set on the flop).
Should I have folded the turn? I have played with this guy a few times, he usually puts in a lot of aggression on the River, but this time it was on the turn, I thought it was some kind of float tbh, did not put him on a set, rather the flush draw. Should I have repped the Flush on the river?

I don't think he was folding a set. However, I think your call on the turn was standard. Like you said, you're beating a flush draw or maybe a hand like 10-9hearts that turned top pair. I think you lost the minimum, tbh.

Nah

Nah man, he was just lucky to get that set. As we are no professionals, we are not able to forsee things like this. Also we can't read someones face while playing online, that is an another downside of playing online.

But after all I think you played that pretty good.

First off Nothing you could do about the situation your not folding QQ earlier than this Ever less you have Amazing Reads

sounds like you would have been better off shoving all In Preflop .. maybe 22 folds and you only gets blinds or maybe 22 calls and you go out .. but most the time you would win this ... were you looking for a safe flop or looking to trick your opponents or just raising QQ 4x


do you raise other hands besides AA AK KK QQ to 4x bb... or just AAKKQQ because if your opponent knew that then knows hes got 2's and a pretty cheep spot from the blinds to see Flops since blinds are closing the action ... and try to outdraw those hands exactly


I think shoving is better makes your move look more like a bluff and will 2's want to call .. not often 22's want to shove and never see flops when no action behind them so its ok break the structure be a spaz shove the hand and hope 22s call
that's the situation you want just not this outcome I guarantee if he did not his that 222s they would have been mucking soon after that and what do you gain the blinds your bet and another 3.5 blinds from the caller you only gain 3 rounds to your stack I'm sure you wont get QQ or better in the next 3 rounds better to get those 22s all in pre no escape


btw the cost of the BB and stack sizes also matter + you say sit n go .. is it turbo ? do you have the BB SB stacks coverd ... with 7500 ...

First off, thanks that was a lot of good analysis right there...

Yes, I had both of them covered, the blinds were 300/600, and they both had around 10 BBs.

You played that very well . Anything else you would have done would've cost you more chips . He wasn't folding post flop . It's hard to watch your Q's lose to 2's but atleast you didn't go broke on the hand . Good job .

you played well just that this time you are not lucky

From how you explained the hand, I cannot fault you on your play; you had a fairly strong hand and were only being beat by a stronger pair pre-flop which was unlikely.
After the flop in which you had raised and the sb called, you then must or should have realized that your opponent was either drawing or made a hand at that point you.
On the turn when the sb raised half pot, this is where you needed to run some hands through your head with a possible set being one of them.
But having stated this, I still cannot blame your play, if your Queens were beat, then they were beat, you more of less had to play out the hand.
