Re: this just in: preflop tough spot with QQ from sunday M
The only thing that I missed while playing the hand but thought of after was that if Nordberg had AA-KK, wouldn't he flat call the short stack's push, hoping that I (or other the caller) would also come along?
I generally call/reraise 50/50 after the first guy called preflop. I think reraising there in a way makes QQ look bigger than it really is, and almost turns it into a bluff, unless I shove, which seems to make my hand look like AK. (does this make sense? Am i wrong to think this way?)
And, I ended up folding just since something about the situation/timing combined with his peculiar isolate reraise (not a push) size made me think Nordberg had a big hand. And, in a way he did, just that mine was better :/
Thanks,
Mike
