Default Re: Stars $11r Hand: QQ UTG vs. BB

I really don't see how anyone is advocating a fold here at all.

1) Your bet looks weak to an average $11R player
2) It's the second hour of an $11R. People don't adjust, they still play too fast with 2nd best hands, et cetera.
3) Betting into this pot with the intentions of folding to a reraise just baffles me
4) Even all of these things notwithstanding, villian could be reraising you with any PP, air, and why in the world would he raise a king? I mean, maybe he's fast playing it, but your bet looks like you whiffed, he's taking advantage of that and raising you. If he thinks you whiffed the flop would he raise with a king here? No, the only possible way he is going to get chips from you if you missed the flop is to let you keep betting into him.

I'd say this is rarely a king, and I don't mind playing for my stack in this situation.

IMO, if he has a king here, good for him but I think folding this to this flop action is weak/tight.
