Yes, scratch that. How about 22-AA, do we bet any of those hands on the flop?

Betting the lower pairs is much better, because it's no longer a WA/WB spot, since overcards can come to beat us, and the lower the pair, the more likely it is that we fold out a better hand.

I think a bet with JJ- is necessary, and it's close with JJ.

Obviously, you should bet your airball.

Re: Pocket Queens in Vegas
 

since the board is not draw heavy, you'll probably want to put your opponent on one of the following hands.

Kx - possible, but with 2 kings on the flop, the probility of that goes down
AA - possible, but you probably would've gotten a re-raise preflop
66 - possible, given his middle position limp/call
JJ or lower pp (other than 66) - possible

of the 4 hands, 66 seems the most likely, with Kx a close 2nd. even if opponent only has 44, then he hit it on the turn. at that point, you're probably dead to only the 2 queens. should be an easy fold when he pushes on the turn.

more pf. flop, you = definetly toasted

Re: Pocket Queens in Vegas
 

fold the flop if you're going to fold the turn.

Re: Pocket Queens in Vegas
 

After a long thought process at the table, and me not knowing my opponent I put him on KJ/Kx or 66 with his play. I mucked my QQ face up and he flipped up Pocket Tens. Oh well.....

Looks like best line would be to check behind on flop and raise turn.

Just call the turn.

Re: Pocket Queens in Vegas
 

What provoked you to call the flop but fold the turn? Were you just calling to see if he shutdown? I think if you call the flop you should commit yourself, it seems like you were calling for a 2 outer and folding otherwise...

Re: Pocket Queens in Vegas
 

Was basically calling to see if he shut down yes. In hindsight I shoud have called the turn bet.
