Hero is fresh at the table and sits down with 100 BBs. Villain is on his 2nd redbull with vodka and has been caught betting rivers with just 2nd pair.
Hero: QQ BB
2limpers and hero makes it $15 to go. Villain calls in the SB.
Flop: 10,8,3 rainbow
villain bets 15 and hero makes it 45. villain calls.
Turn: Q
villain says all in and almost splashes the pot in excitement
Hero:???

Try to convince the forum that villains only possible holdings on the turn are j9.
GO.
Cause this is the easiest call ever. Sometimes you lose with 2nd nuts in poker, its ok, stop trying to get out of it.

I am perfectly ok going broke in this spot pretty much 100% of the time. Coolers happen. Rebuy and get it back

There is no decision. Fist pump gii. Every now and again you will be behind but rarely and still have outs when you are

C'mon now. Top set with a 100 bb, and you've already put 30bb into the pot. This is a fist-pump spot if I've ever seen one. Though I will admit that when I'm in spots like this where V donk jams turn on me, it sometimes is more of a "sigh-call" for me. Of course it usually ends with me feeling like I just nit-rolled V as I'm usually miles ahead of his both his range and his exact holdings. LOL.
If V has J9, oh well, coolers happen. You still have 10 outs to a redraw. The one good thing about only being 100bb effective is that you don't have to give spots like this a second thought.
