NL50 - QQ taking heat
 

Today I got lots of action with QQ hands. I am unsure if I played them well ( apart from being able to catch sets with them [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )


HAND 1:
I just started playing at the table so no history. I really did not think he would do this with AK and I did not beat anything else.

HAND 2 (happenned 3 hands after HAND 1):
This should have been a fold after he raised me on the flop right? What about bet sizes? Villain is 16/10/1.2 over 80 hands. On another table a couple minutes ago he donked with 99 on 573 flop into 2 oponents and called a big raise I made with KK, he turned a set and stacked me.

HAND 3:
Villain was trying to rep AA/KK but he seemed really bad although the sample was just 15 hands 53/20/1. Do I give credit here? If so where do I fold?

Re: NL50 - QQ taking heat
 

very tricky spots, but I think QQ is trickier than JJ in cash games. Hand 1 I have no idea. Depending on the average player at party I could see either a shove or fold, but I'm interested to see what everyone else says.

Hand 2 you really are commited into seeing if it's JJ imo.

Hand 3 the raise commits you again and I'm not sure of another line to take. There's probably an argument for flatting and folding to a good size bet on turn or lead bluffing a club.

anyone?

Re: NL50 - QQ taking heat
 

I think folding in hand 1 is terrible. I think his range is so heavily weighted towards a jack and maybe even mid pocket pairs that he thinks are good against your AK. You have to at least call here I think, and reevaluate turn.

Hand 2- I guess thats fine, I like just calling the bet though. I don't think you can fold after your raise.

Hand 3- I wouldn't fold. Nice suckout.

I think you'd get more responses from players far better than I if you posted your hands one at a time. Most posters just go tl/dr and on to the next post. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: NL50 - QQ taking heat
 

hand 1: what is a range you give him when he calls the pf 3bet. I give him JJ+, AK without previous reads. Too tight?

hand 2: I am beat like 90% of the time when he pushes. Do I really have to call?
