Default Full tilt 150 hand vs rekwob

Villain in hand is our own rekwob 'wlleiotol' on full tilt.

We're a couple hours into the tilt 150 and i've run very good with big hands and big pairs which i've played straight forward pre flop and yet people stack off to me.

Rekwob's stack: 6600
My stack: 18800

I've been fairly active with reraises, but always shown down a real hand. Rekwob is in EP, i am in MP a few seats behind. If rekwob doesn't know who i am, and he likely does from playing on tilt togeather a lot, he can at least tell i'm not a donk.

Blinds 100/200
I hold black QQ in MP

Preflop: UTG folds, rekwob raises to 600, folds to me, i raise to 1800, folds to rekwob, rekwob calls.

Flop: K 9 2 two diamonds (pot 3900)
Rekwob checks, I?

He has about 5k left in his stack and i think his just calling a reraise pre range is very slim here, so how do you proceed?

I'd make a big bet expecting to call his all in is such a thing happens. If he has a King, well, thats life.

Check and fold the turn. I wouldn't 3bet a good player here by the way b.c you are rarely good if he shoves and likewise if he flatcalls and puts $ in on the flop.

A or K flop you essentially have to autofold to a lead, get check-raised a ton, and on small flops, you are only maybe stacking TT or JJ, which together will be less frequent than AA and KK.

You need floating capability here in position against a good aggro player with a hand like QQ(or any other middle pair), and by 3betting, you essentially cut that off.

Check behind. I think he would push AK pf but he very well may have called. I'm not sure how aggressive rekwob is but I'd probably just check/calldown.

If he has AA/KK would he not just re-shove you pre. If u have shown down a good hand everytime you've re-raised. I think he would assume u have a good hand this time and get all the money in pre-flop, incase the flop came with a A or somthing scary an slowed the action.

Nice...you're folding out every hand you beat, and get stacked by literally everything you don't. Optimization at its best.

You can't fold this. I think a flop push is for less than pot, so I would just push.

check behind

if he checks turn, i probably bet/fold. it'd be gross betting like 2200 into 3900 and then folding for like 2800 more, but unless he's surprisingly bad and doing that with TT/JJ, you are obv needing 400000:1 odds ot call

There is 3900 in the pot and villain has 4800 left. I don't think you can fold this. I don't think checking behind on the flop though.

As for odds, you are about 9-1 on the flop against AA, AK or a set.

What's wrong with checking behind? Wouldn't rekwob push any diamond draw immediately? If he's behind and drawing, it's to a very few outs, 2 or 3.
