Kings Over Queens Roller Coaster (cash)

GOOD BEAT

Pre-flop, I was a huge favorite, about 75% against my two opponents. Surprisingly, in this multi-way pot, no one held an ace even after the bets were capped. That worked in my favor because that meant I led on the flop. I worried a little about a flush draw, but again, no one held two hearts either. I was almost certain the villain who had capped the betting held an ace. Little did I know he had a pair of queens.

However, even though there were three hearts by the time the turn came around, the capper was all-in with just about the small blind. I figured I had to call since there was so much in the pot already. Lucky for me the capper didn't have much left because if he had a lot of chips, I may have folded on a turn bet. The question is, would he have bet the turn with queens?

Anyway, I went from being a 90% favorite on the turn, to being a 20% dog when the queen hit. It gave the villain a set, but I had outs since I could hit any heart or the case king. Lady Luck was on my side this time around, and even though she didn't give me a heart, the case king was good enough for me.
