I would be re-raising big preflop from the BB with the raiser and the caller. 300 to go. As played, I think your flop line is fine, bad luck if one of them called you with A7 or 44 - but re-raising preflop might have folded these hands out.

Reraise preflop (t250-300ish), for sure, you have QQ !

Bet the flop, and raise / reraise / go all-in asap , here.

I would reraise preflop if I didn't mind calling a shove, but I wouldn't like it at all if one of them shoved on me. I figured I would wait for a safe flop and then checkraise it.

i think it's better re-raise pf and fold to a shove than just calling and be beat by a Q7 or worst.

Yeah I would reraise this preflop since we are out of position. On the button I can see just calling. As played I'm getting all-in on the flop.

RexWoo · #7 11-30-2006, 10:55 AM

To be clear : don't fold to a shove after your reraise. You will all kind of reraise hands, here, from AA to 76o.

fe,

i would re-raise preflop. if someone pushed i would generally call w/o thinking. i don't think calling all-ins w/ QQ at the 16s is going to serve you too bad.

as played, flop is fine imo.

Fold preflop. Your aces weren't even suited, his K3 was.
