BN: Pappe_Ruk: $403.19
I was spewing around a bit in these couple of sessions at 2/4, and I'm a bit embarrased to even mention my opponent, lol.
For some reason I kept making ridiculous plays and bad call downs to cofirm my reads that they had a hand that beat me, but still called.
That happens when you move up and you have guys in the player pool who play 50/100. You want to show you belong there so badly that you completely forgot about the game you've been playing before

Villian hadn't seen me around.

I was not the table fish btw. This was an all-reg game that had already been running and nobody tried to sit.
Preflop ($6.00) (5 Players)
Hero was dealt Q Q
ew8fh folds, TheWakko folds, Pappe_Ruk folds, Hero raises to $12, Villian calls $8
Flop ($26.00) J 5 7 (2 Players)
Hero bets $16, Villian raises to $57.73, Hero calls $41.73
His range probably looks like 55/77, spades, maybe AJ, 68/98/T9, 5s Xs, Js, J5s, probably not 57s I guess, QKhh, As X.

Turn ($141.46) J 5 7 8 (2 Players)
Hero checks, Villian bets $103.86, Hero calls $103.86
Flush draw and some SDs get there, but I don't think I can fold yet.
He probably 3-bets good suited Aces and suited Kings, and against every other flush I have a redraw.
And he can still have some semi-bluffs, bluff with backdoor equity, especially the As X hand.

And if he had a set or two pair, he probably checks behind on the turn.

Should I fold if I don't have the Qs, and call when I do?
River ($349.18) J 5 7 8 4 (2 Players)
Hero checks, Villian bets $254.41, and is all in, Hero folds
His value range should be exclusively flushes, because we can have them as well, so it's hard to value bet a set or straight.

And given what I said about his 3-betting big suited Ax and Kx, and the board blocking some of his connected spades that he calls pre-flop, his value range should be very narrow.

It's not a good spot for him to turn something like two pair into a bluff, because he'd have no blockers, and we're still kind of uncapped. And also because he has showdown value.

The deciding factor in my fold was his turn bet sizing. If I had a big flush, I would not bet this big and leave 254/349 left. So it makes me suspect he has a lower flush.
A lower flush also makes sense because he raised the flop, whereas a lot of players seem to call more with Ahigh FDs.

Thoughts?
Final Pot
Villian wins $344.38
