Default Re: QQ in 3bet pot HU

[ QUOTE ]
Why would lead the flop be a bad option?

[/ QUOTE ]

you answer your own question.

[ QUOTE ]
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.

[/ QUOTE ]

What information do you get by leading the flop?

[ QUOTE ]
If he pushes you have a decision to make

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

[ QUOTE ]
but by checking you let him fire a barrel with some hands you beat like TT or AK

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

and if you raise then you're commited...

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