The play was high risk no doubt. My guess is your opponent had a 6 with a blank and your reraise said to him you had a Q of some sort. So with your position it was an ok play. However i would not recommend this play unless your read says he is weak. He bet the pot im assuming which is a show of strength...but you were right that time and that is all that matters. Keep up the play man. Experience leads to better play if you try and put the time in.

Well it worked but normally I wouldn't make that play against a bigger stack with that hand but I wasn't sitting at the table to see the action prior though , gl

Fold preflop.

Bad shove on the flop with a weak hand. You're giving cuda74 about 3.2:1 odds to call and bust you. And his/her pot sized bet on the flop isnt exactly screaming "open-bluff" Im putting them on mid pair 77+, Q, or possibly straight draw. Any of which should've an easy call after you've shoved.
Bad play by your opponent as well because they should not be folding any possible winning hand in this situation.

The blinds were getting up there and I felt I needed more chips, I just had a feeling about the hand lol...

What would be a better play next time if I suspect that he has no queen?

If you get this far, ask yourself what hands he is likely to be raising with. Then, try to determine if you could beat most of them with bottom pair. Your answer is likely "no", which makes this a pretty easy fold.

Before even calling pre-flop, you also need to consider what the first limper has. It's likely to be two high cards, an A with a better kicker than yours, or a pocket pair that beats your low card.

There is no flop (short of *maybe* 234 rainbow) that can come where you will have any reasonable faith that you hold the best hand. The best time to fold is before the first chip goes in, unless you intend to play it as a steal and raise pre-flop.

a queen isn't the only thing that can beat you here
its more likely he had 77's or maybe 88's


fold ace rag!
