Re: Borgata $750 - QQ on button vs. UTG 5.5x raise
Awesome, not one person who responded recommended what I did, which was flat call.
Here's why I did it, I'd love to get comments on my thought process. I think his range is JJ-99, AK, with a sprinkling of KK and a remote possibility of AA. I thought that the same type of person who raises 5.5x with JJ, TT or 99 would talk themselves into a fold if I raised, which is why I didn't want to raise. I figured this type of person would also not bet the flop if an A or K came, unless they hit the flop, so I could safely fold after the flop if an overcard came to my QQ and Villain bet. Because the blinds are short, I'm not worried about giving them odds to call, they just can't call here, and if they shove, I'd be thrilled to call.
End result: flop came A T 4, all clubs. Villain shoved. I did not have the Qc. As much as I tried to find a reason to call, I couldn't come up with one, so I folded.
