Re: Top two on a scary board vs Zeejustin in Caesar\'s 10k
[ QUOTE ]
I would fold preflop. The leverage that the player in position can use in a spot like this is so great IMO. I mean we flop top two pair, and all he has done is simply bet twice as the pre flop aggressor, and we are completely tortured with how to play the hand. If I did play the hand I'd prefer to reraise. I wouldn't mind calling with pairs and etc.

I tend to agree with you about playing hands OOP against people who are good, which is why my 6m stats are a bit tighter then other regs. Still QJs is far too strong here IMO to fold PF with these antes. Live on the bubble of a tourney with a big stack he should be raising really wide, especially if button is weak (dunno him but assuming unknown live player is playing tight here).
I disagree with the playing small pairs thing, I think QJs plays stronger here. But I'd also call 22.
In a cash game IN ZJs spot I would def 2 barrel with KK (would rarely check for pot control), and in OPs spot I'd be happy to get it in on the turn. Dynamics though are really different in cash than a donkament bubble, so I guess just c/c.
