Im not sure what I should be doing in this spot... my Equity is terrible right? do I find a fold straight away? or call and get money in on a safe turn?

Against an aggressive villian I think you played it okay...against a 16/11/1 I think you need to fold. His range is like 55/66/99/78/65 maayybe some FDs like AdJd.

Re: Standard play? QQ facing reraise
 

i play it exactly the same way except betting more on the flop, maybe 22-23. i think your bet looks kinda weak. his raise is pretty big. i'd put him on a draw/combo draw/lower PP/air and push it in

i'm an idiot and didn't read the stats

Re: Standard play? QQ facing reraise
 

i could find a fold vs this villain, hes seems way to passive.
Otherewise its quite standard to get it in vs most players.

Re: Standard play? QQ facing reraise
 

Against a tight/passive player like this, you're usually at best coin-flipping against a strong draw. I fold.

Re: Standard play? QQ facing reraise
 

i'm happy enough with the way you played this. fine imo.

Re: Standard play? QQ facing reraise
 

I think I agree now with the fold line.... But what makes you decide weather its a fold or push? how aggro/loose does he have to be?

Re: Standard play? QQ facing reraise
 

There isn't really a hard answer for that...but you have to answer what hands do you beat and how would a particular player play those hands against you. We're basically beating JJ/TT (which some nits may play like this) &amp; FDs/combo draws (which passive guys usually don't raise up on the flop). So we're ahead of very little here.
