Sharing Outs

I found the hand below pretty amusing, especially since I somehow held with my 69% preflop equity 4 ways:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (9 handed)
MP3 ($43)
CO ($44.07)
Button ($60.37)
SB ($100)
BB ($38.30)
UTG ($100)
UTG+1 ($108.89)
Hero (MP1) ($100)
MP2 ($100)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q♣, Q♠
UTG bets $2.50, 1 fold, Hero calls $2.50, 3 folds, Button raises to $5, 1 fold, BB calls $4, UTG raises to $100 (All-In), Hero calls $97.50 (All-In), Button calls $55.37 (All-In), BB calls $33.30 (All-In)

Flop: ($299.17) 5♠, J♦, 6♣ (4 players, 4 all-in)

Turn: ($299.17) 9♦ (4 players, 4 all-in)

River: ($299.17) 2♣ (4 players, 4 all-in)

Total pot: $299.17 | Rake: $2.80

Results:
Button mucked K♥, A♣ (high card, Ace).
BB mucked A♦, Q♥ (high card, Ace).
UTG had K♦, A♥ (high card, Ace).
Hero had Q♣, Q♠ (one pair, Queens).
Outcome: Hero won $296.37


In general, variance has been a bitch this month. I did river the nuts in a $1.4k 600NL pot today which certainly helped however. After losing in Dallas today it is more or less game over for the Flames, which is unfortunate. It seems it'll be another year of pulling for whatever team is currently playing the Canucks until they are eliminated. At least Baertschi is active in the WHL playoffs - go Winterhawks!

I'm finished with Tales of Graces f, including the bulk of the bonus content added. Very well done game, with an exceptionally well executed version of the Tales battle system. Finally Namco got it right, it only took what, like twelve tries? Anyway, enjoyable game with the combat being the strongest point.
