horrible play? How could I have lost less? still playing so couldnt convert it

[LOwrestling2001]

yea, QQ is not a hand you want to push preflop deepstacked, nor do you really want to call a push preflop either (deepstacked). anyhow, doing this only folds out, maybe QQ and less, while KK and AA are going to call you. depending on the player, but unless a player is 3betting light, you just want to call this, and play poker on the flop.

i do this all the time. but more often than not i am beat. mostly i find KK an AA here. very rarely do i find AK or AQ or JJ. i lose a lot like this. i guess call. i dont really know what to do when the flop come T high. more poker. and if he shoves i suppose we can fold knowing he has the overpair or a set.

[demon102]

If the player had a full stack I woulda just called but here he had more then a half a stack so I def. shoulda thought more before shoving, If I just call preflop and get to the flop what do I do then? Check call? Id prolly checkraise and still lose, maybe chack calling would work well for pot control just incase he has big pair that beats me. QQ is def a weak spot in my game I guess I should treat it like JJ and and play more cautiously

Whenever I see a reraise preflop I automatically assume they have KK or AA.

That is not a good way to play especially in 6 max
