Tournament: £60 buy in £8k guaranteed (Live)
Starting stack: 50k

Level 2: 150/300 (50 ante)

Hero stack: 70k
Villain stack: 75k

I pick up QQ in the big blind. There are 5 limps preflop including the button (villain). I raise it up to 3,000 (my reasoning for this is there have been a lot of limp callers in this tournament and this is not a hand I would like to play 6 ways so I would rather isolate one or two players). It folds round to the button who calls.

The flop comes down 3410.

I lead out for 3,200 (I guess I should make a case for charging some draws incorrect odds to call but I don't want to price out smaller pairs or two overs and not extract any value). The button reraises to 13,200, to which I call (I thought about raising here, but again I don't want to price him out with hands he is either scared of draws with or a draw itself).

The turn comes 8.

I don't really believe he has much of anything here due to his aggressive nature in previous hands, so I check to induce a second barrel. The villain then goes all in, which has me covered. I elect to call (reasoning here as previously said is I don't really believe he has much of anything on that board, plus if he has a made flush I have the queen of clubs to potentially draw to a higher straight (except against Ax Kx of )). The villain turns over 97.

The river comes J.

And I pick up my coat and leave.

Is this the correct line to be taking, what could I have done better? Could I have reraised the flop or should I have lead out on the turn?

You played it fine imo, just got unlucky.

You're only focusing on the outcome and not on the poker.

you gave vil the rope and he got lucky, you played it perfectly with your reads.

Bad beats happen, don't let results cloud your mind during bad beats.

Don't need to raise over the reraise on the flop, folds all bluffs, and in your read you say he likes to bluff keep these in.

Same on the turn, you say vil likes to bluff, easy call with the Qc redraw as well.

What casino was this?
