NL10: QQ 3 bet pre, facing flop reraise

[skinlash]

Villain is basically unknown, I only had 30 hands or so on him. QQ isn't really a hand I'm fond of as you can probalby tell. Raised on the flop, this seemed like fold or push situation, is that right?

Yeah, its fold or push, the problem is the only part of his range you really beat is a lone /images/graemlins/spade.gif so calling is the worst option in your best case, with position a call re-evaluate could be ok but out of position you would be folding the best hand far to often.

At $10 tables I'd say its probably a push but even then its close, there is definately no shame in folding it and $25's with around 70bb a fold is definately standard

I disagree with Bob. I think a push is a spew. Hes not folding any big spade which you're not much of a favorite against. I've played a lot of hands at this level on PS and in this spot I'd call and shove any non-spade, Ace, or king turn. You will still have ~10$ and the pot will be around 6.5$ so its a bit of an overbet but I think that line is much better than shoving flop and getting called by a lot of hands which we are only 60% against.

Also bet more on flop. The more draw heavy the board is the larger you should be making c-bets.

[BobAllinSki]

Yeah, stop &amp; go is probably quiet good here actually, I was more thinking about check-something on the turn been a bad line.

I probably would have made it $1.50 on the flop. If he's going to BS me then he's really going to have to pay for it. If he called that then I'd re-evaluate on the turn. And I think a stop &amp; go on any A or K is a bad move since he's obviously got one of those.
