guy has ~34 BBs at 15/30, no way you aren't getting in with QQ here.

This always chimes a bell in my mind, but at a 6.50 I'll see them turn over AT/AJ, and I'll remember why I never fold QQ preflop here.

I don't get the question. Were you considering folding?

Yes. Limp -&gt; reraise = very often a monster.

True. I've been wondering what the (AA/KK)anything else) ratio was for awhile now. I know that I've seen this play with any A, any pair and I fold AK to it quite a bit when they go allin but should QQ ever be folded?

I don't play that much, but virtually everytime I've seen this it's been AA at the $6 level. I've played with wild donkeys and they open raise K7o consistently and then open limp-reraise, something fishy is happening.

I have folded QQ preflop before. This isnt one of those times.

You will see AK a lot of the time here. People think that hand is wonderful or something. It is a good hand, but it is so overplayed.
