So someone explain how not to double up a bigger overpair here...

[ThePortuguee]

Six max, Pokerstars 100NL. I have Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the BB. Villain has $81, and opens UTG to $5. I cover. Fold to me and I call.

Flop ($10): 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I check and villain bets $12.

What's your plan here? Assuming overcards to your queens don't come, do you ever avoid doublig up AA or KK? Do you tend to lead the flop?

i think i'm check raising that flop and folding to a three bet all in. If he flat calls. I'm betting that non over turn. Course, I'm also reraising automatically pre-flop.

I lead the flop there. See what happens from there.

Leading the flop doesn't seem to get us anywhere good. Most of the time our opponent will fold a worse hand (that he would have bet had we checked to him) and call/raise with a better hand. Leading lets our opponent play close to perfectly.

At least check-raising and folding to a 3-bet allows our opponent to put money into the pot with a worse hand.

I pretty much always reraise preflop here.

rrz pre. It makes the hand much easier to play.

I guess you could lead each street and get nervous if you get raised.
