Default Re: (109) Mid-game play, QQ gets c/r\'ed on a K-high flop

I'd probably check the flop. I'd rather check then push and I'm never big on bet/folding as you all know. You might be too short to finesse but I think I'd take my chances here. You are gonna get pot stuck if you decide to call the turn but the chance that he has a king shold be low enough to make it work.

I like checking here often as well. Unless SB is a donk who will playmake with worse hands fairly often, if you're going to war after getting C/R'd on this flop, you might as well check behind the flop, and be prepared to go to war on Turn absent an Ace hitting (or at least go to war if he leads out on the Turn, if he checks you have more options) - against a "normal" player you get action/chips out of many more worse hands this way. You get outdrawn every now and then, but the hands you're ahead of have very few outs, and you can always change your plan if an Ace hits on the Turn.
