Re: NL25, hero has a Premium Hand and faces a 4BB bet and a raise to 8

So, you fold everything but AA or KK?
You fold QQ and medium pairs?

Medium pairs for sure, see above.
QQ is borderline. Donīt want to fold it on the one hand side, feels so week-tight. On the other hand, I might be a mouse but I put him on JJ+ here, maybe AK. Thatīs not because he is 3-betting, but because he is 3-betting so small.
Plus, negative implied odds. Whenever he has a hand of that range, itīs either going to be a big pot (flop comes T high), and we loose 2/3 of the time (AA,KK) and win 1/3 of the time (JJ), or we win but itīs a small pot (flop comes T high, he has AK), or flop comes J high which is a desaster.
Now, I know very well that sometimes he has some other hand. But I donīt think that risk/reward is good here for playing QQ.
I raise big with AA,KK and only sometimes I shove. I might tend to shove if thereīs villains who have seen me shove AK.
