Some background first:
I'm big blind (TAG table image) with 100 or so BB's in my stack.
UTG (TAG player that likes to lead out when he has something, but on tilt at that time) folds
UTG+1 (LAG player with the highest stack by far, about 300 BB) limps
Button (The embodiment of a 30something Old Man Coffee, very tight passive) folds
SB (tight passive) Limps
I look down at Q5 of clubs, which is about par for the course of hands I've been seeing on the night, and decide to see the flop for free.
Board comes 2 3 Q rainbow.
SB bets half pot, I call, UTG +1 calls.
Turn comes another queen. SB bets 3/4 pot, I double the 3/4 pot bet. Both UTG +1 and SB flat call.
Now, at this point, I figure that one of them has the last queen, but I have no idea what the other has.
River yields the King of spades. No flush draws. No straight draws.
SB bets pot.
I go in the tank, and this is what I'm thinking. My guess is SB has the queen or else he wouldn't be betting so high. Does UTG have a pocket pair of Kings, 2's, or 3's? I eliminate that possibilty as I think that UTG+1 would have raised preflop if he had a pocket pair, especially Kings. He's not afraid to raise his premium hands preflop.
As far as the queens go, I figure my 5 kicker won't factor, as UTG or SB either both have me beat with boats or one has three Queens as I do and the other a king that make a high two pair.
I decide after a minute of tanking to call. UTG + 1 calls and shows AQ and SB shows pocket Jacks.
I had made the miscalculation that the other player with the queen could have very easily had me outkicked, and that's exactly what happened.
As the armchair QB the next morning, I think last to act, I should have folded seeing SB call the initial pot bet. Odds are I was either outkicked on the queens or someone made a boat.
