Re: Here we go again - QQ in the hole against a huge re-raise pre-flop..
vs. {JJ+, AK} QQ has 48% pre-flop equity, so I don't think calling is wrong. Hellmuth would probably fold thinking he can find better spots against softer players at the table and that's fine too. Villain might see your button raise as a steal attempt and is trying to re-steal, I say call. At the $5 table I'd be more worried if he opened for a min raise and then pushed all in. In fact, I'm not sure I could ever fold QQ preflop at a $5 table not just because I'm more cavalier about the $5, but I know that the $5 players make a lot more mistakes, like overbettting the pot.
