Ya in hindsight I really think it’s a bad fold. I was just confused as I could not find a bluff or value hand. I failed to take my own advice and massively underestimated the “idiot button clicking” frequency. 
Look. Let’s just agree to never respond to each other’s poker posting. I don’t respect your game at all and I think vice versa. That’s fine. Let’s both just ignore each other’s poker posting.
Think Diamond is largest union, i am in club Burj(diamond), along with several other unions/clubs. You should be able to get 30% RB on diamond, 45% on other unions.
Look thru thread , lots of reputable agents there, just pm them
I have used , a dewd and hal
You can have multiple accounts , agents etc.
Trip report please! 
if only there was a game of skill where people could settle their disagreements with $$$

I’d rather die than play HU with a super nit. 
well if it’s cash it sucks, but in HU SNG’s super nits are the easiest to beat

No deal.
Calling preflop is borderline at best. A mistake people make is to look at hot-and-cold equity preflop and you’ve probably got somewhere in the 15-20% equity pre, but you need to look at how the hand will play out. You’re deep-stacked with no nut potential in your hand. You’re multi-way, so making a pair isn’t likely to give you a bluff-catcher, since people bluff less multi-way. Yes, you’re on the button, which helps equity realization, but all the other stuff goes against you, so I would expect you to have poor equity realization in this hand.
Flop is fine. That’s a reasonable bet if you have QJo and a lot of players won’t check top pair or better when a flush draw is possible.
Turn check feels weak. Yes, 65 and A5 (and 42 and 32) zoomed head of you, but you bet only half-pot in a steal position and there are a lot of hands they could have like Ax, bigger flush draws, or pairs between queens and fours where you should bet. This is the kind of check done by players who are afraid of being check-raised or can’t fire the second barrel with a draw. It kind of commits you to making a hand if you want to win the pot because you are giving up a lot of your ability to bluff the river when you miss against players who have signaled they might not be particularly strong. Are you checking behind with QJo? Of course, how you play this street is partly dependent on live reads.
I’m not sure about the river bet sizing. A small bet will get a wider range to call, but maybe a larger, polarizing bet will represent a missed flush draw that another player might bluff-catch against.
In the games I usually play in, where they slow-play too much, check-call river with A4, and never check-raise bluff, it’s an easy bet-fold. In the games you describe, I don’t know why you’re only betting 1/3 pot on the river.

I can’t possibly be a super nit because I defend big blind around 85-90% against a minraise.
I fold the 94dd pre. As played I bet turn as well.
Against players who don’t like to fold, I like the turn check.
River I’m definitely not folding. Once you check turn back turn V2 would normally now assume he needs to bet river to get value if he has a strong hand, too much risk you check it back again. Seeing a c/r in that spot is a huge wtfbbq, I pay that off all day, especially with the small sizing of your river bet.

This is definitely a fold preflop imo. You’re just gonna get in a load of shitty spots and all your good hands flushes trips etc have a very good chance of being 2nd best if significant money goes in. $14 is 4 and a half big blinds at 1/3 how big is your winrate? Big enough that you can throw away 4.5bb willynilly?
If you’re betting flop I think it should be with the plan to be bluffing multiple streets because there’s zero chance you’re taking it down on the flop. So if you’re betting flop then bet turn if you’re checking turn you should check flop. River is a good bet and now a real tough one. I think I’d sigh fold because they always always have it when they raise river but it’s a sick spot, all could be avoided by folding pre.
Folding preflop is insane to me this deep, getting more than 5 to 1, on the button. Maybe it’s a leak but that is the one street I am most confident I played correctly for my game pool.
In hindsight, a turn bet would have worked but I think that is results oriented. Either V1 or V2 should have a queen and won’t fold right?
I’ve never considered effective stacks of 130bb being “deep.”

I would go bet bet shove or check check bet. Preflop you’re not closing the action and it’s a perfect spot for a huge SB squeeze I’d be squeezing an enormous range from SB here. So much free money to pick up. You’re getting 5-1 but are you happy when all the money goes in on a 997r flop? Even a d d d board gets spooky if people play back at you fish love limping and overcalling with AXs. Being on the button helps mitigate but your reverse implied odds are really bad. Even if you hit (which you won’t a huge % of the time costing yourself 4.5BBs) you’ll have to play pot control and not get stacks in.
Maybe that is the confusion. With a button straddle in this room I close the action as the final caller. Button has last action preflop.
Ah, that makes a difference. I like it a little better then but still you’ve hit essentially as good as you can hope for and you’re still folding. That’s the reverse implied odds working against you.

You mean because of my $6 straddle but I don’t really think of it that way as I am only one at table straddling so players all play as if it’s a $3 bb so 266 bb deep.
