4-bet pf or lead the flop.

Actually he can have 99+, AQ, AK, indeed AJs.
Check that flop is terrible because you lost a lot of information...now the pot is bigger and you dont know what to do.
After the check...the best is call and CRAI the turn.

Is AK really 2 barreling the way action went?

[/ QUOTE ]The only thing right about this part of your post is that the pot is bigger.

I concurring with shoving and with the statement you don't want to see TT+ t/r. Shoving is safer and you would get the call vs w/ JJ/TT on this board.

ok. Why?.

Re: QQ in 3bet pot HU
 

Why would lead the flop be a bad option? I would probably lead a 9high flop in a 3bet pot. Assuming his 3betting range is TT+ ,AKo,AKs, you will gain information here leading the flop.
If he pushes you have a decision to make but by checking you let him fire a barrel with some hands you beat like TT or AK and if you raise then you're commited...

What information do you get by leading the flop?

So if you still have a decision to make, then you haven't got any useful information, have you? He could still have JJ couldn't he? So you have no useful information.

and this is a bad thing, how? You realise you want him to put money into the pot when he has a worse hand. You don't want to make a play that gets him to fold all his worse hands and call you with all his better hands.

which is good, because we want to be AI, we have a monster.

Re: QQ in 3bet pot HU
 

4-bet/call pre-flop. as played c/shove the flop. force him to make a good fold w/ TT/JJ before a scare card hits.

Re: QQ in 3bet pot HU
 

If hes pretty aggressive heads up I have no idea why you didnt 4-bet PF, definitely launch on flop though.
