your QQ gets repopped preflop so you....

[arden street]

First orbit, no reads. But 3betting is pretty rare right?

What's the preflop decision? And what line to take postflop?

I would call and see what happens.

Call, raising folds out everything you beat apart from AK.

Call. Do not automatically put him on A-A or K-K. This is a button raise. We don't have reads, so I'll give him credit for a decent hand.

Board texture is going to give us our direction after the flop. If the board comes out 9 high I check raise him the pot. If he calls, I'm pretty much finished. If the board comes out with an A or K, I lead for 3/4 pot and fold to a raise. A big flop is scary for him too if he doesn't connect. If the flop includes a Q I lead for 3/4 pot and hope he has A-A or K-K.

We have a good hand. Play it hard, but protect your stack.

Call and play poker.

That's the problem with Qs. Never know how good you are. Good news is that even if he's got As or Ks you're only something like a 3-2 dog I think.

I think you think wrong Mr.Optimist. It's 5:1.

[RollTide77]

Yeah. you're right.

3-2 is unpaired lows against unpaired highs I think. Don't have my odds cheat sheet here at work. :-)

Question. After calling the raise, Hero will have 21 left, the pot will be 6. If villian makes a pot size C-bet, and if i'm doing this right, a pot sized c/r will be 18 leaving hero with 3 left which I can't imagine isn't going in. Is this what you meant? Can you (or someone)fill in the right #'s

Yeah, I liked Sam's strategy, but I think stack sizes prevent us from taking his line.

c/r-ing a blank flop is pretty bad.

[wcaines]

Orange,
How would you handle a blank flop in this situation?

[LMAO]

Reraises normally mean something at the level/site i play 25-50NL, so i would put him on a good hand... say TT+ AJs+ AQ+. You're beating TT, jj, AJ, AQ. flipping with AK and dominated by KK &amp; AA.

I would call the reraise and lead a large % of flops. alternatively you could chk/call and lead or fold turn.

i think i like the chk/call re-evaluate turn line better. I havent added the bets, but stack sizes being what they are you might have to push turn if you decide to continue.

[Sam Spade]

There's math in poker?

My bad on stack sizes.

[Sam Spade]

You obviously have considerably more experience than me, and I would value your input on this one. Would you c/c the blanked flop? Villain could have a big pair here, but can we safely assume a button reraise from an unknown could be AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT or a big suited ace? What is your line on the turn if we c/c the flop?
