Long time lurker, first time poster. I recently played a very tough spot in a live 3/5 NL hand. I would appreciate any feedback so that I can make better reads in the future.
We're playing 7-handed. It folds around to me in the CO and I look down at QTo. I bet 4xBB ($20). The player on the button calls, and so does the BB. For some context, the player on the button is a friend and plays a solid range. In this game I would label him as a TAG. The player in the BB has about a $3K stack and covers both of us. He's been mixing some limps as well as some open raises in his pre-flop strategy. I've seen him show down top pair when he bets 1/2 - 2/3 pot on the flop and met no resistance, as well as him showing Q9s for a flush on a paired board, going to a showdown.
I'm starting this hand with ~$800.
To a flop we go: Qd-10c-6d
I flop top two. When it checks around to me, I fire $40 into a pot of ~$60 for value. Both players call.
Turn: 7-c
It checks around to me again. With two flush draws on board now, I fire $120 into a pot of ~$180. I suspect both players may be on draws now with such a wet board. The player on the button lets his cards go. Now, the player in the BB check-raises me to $600. This is a weird line, and part of me thinks he's doing this as a semi-bluff (I think it's pretty standard to do this with a very strong combo-draw). I only have ~$120 more behind me, so this is more or less an all-in. I tank for a couple of minutes, not very happy about this spot that I'm in. I'm behind to all sets, but the only realistic one is 66. The hands I'm ahead of are mostly combo draws: Jd9d, Jc9c, 9d8d, 9c8c, etc. There's some two pair hands that I'm ahead of as well. 67s, T7s, T6s, Q6s, hands the BB very well may have.
I needle the player a little bit, asking him if he has a set. He shakes his head, and says "I gamble". At this point, I decide to stick it all in. He snap calls.
He tables 9h8h for the turned double-gutter straight. I table my measly two pair.
River: 3s
A total brick, and I lose this one
The straight was not even on my periphery, which was definitely a mistake in my analysis. My question is, is it correct to fold my two pair here? Other feedback appreciated as well. Thanks!
