QQ preflop

[joelav128]

No read on the villain, this is his first hand at the table

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG ($17.40)
Button ($52.45)
Hero ($26.75)
BB ($10)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q, Q.
[color=#CC3333]UTG raises to $0.5</font>, [color=#666666]1 fold</font>, [color=#CC3333]Hero raises to $1.85</font>, [color=#CC3333]BB raises to $3.25</font>, UTG folds

Is it wrong to push all in every time here?

And sorry, first hand i've posted, trying to figure out the hand convertor

Yeah, I'm a little curious about these kinds of hands too. Are we up against TT, JJ, and AK enough to make going all in profitable?

[/ QUOTE ]no. I call this preflop bet. I call a flop bet and fold to a turn bet. You have position so use it. Pushing preflop is pretty stupid, I'd much rather just 5-bet.

[joelav128]

I hate just calling too, becuase if we are up against 1010 JJ what do we do if an A or K flops? If we are going to play the hand no matter the flop, it makes sense just to get it all in preflop anyway right?

[shyturtle27]

Yeah, it's not profitable. Your up against AA and KK a lot here. Plus in this situation you're up against an unknown. Default play with QQ PF for me is that I'll raise or reraise a standard raise and I'll call a 3-bet. I never 4-bet unless I really know my opponent is light.

[/ QUOTE ]no. well not pushing over his raise. if you really want to get it in just 5-bet somewhere between $10 and $12 and call a push though I really don't recommend that.

[joelav128]

He only has $10, how can we call the flop and fold the turn? A 5-bet is essentially all-in anyway

[jessyj07]

i missed stack size, push it.

[BevillTheDevil]

villian buys in short, probably a donk...I push
