Default Re: Live MTT, late QQ tough decision

Folding is very weak tight. If you are not willing to play for your stack, you are not going to win. I haven't seen any argument that calling is anywhere near cEV-.

You reraised preflop, so you are getting 1.6-1 pot odds. So is villain, so if he is good, he is pushing a lot of hands. If villain is a decent player, he pushes AA/KK preflop. Slow playing would make no sense here. You got a low flop. What more can you ask for.

You can say you are either even or way behind. Well you are getting huge pot odds, so being even is not even. Also, villain could have a lower pp probably with a club or AK without a club, so you could be a big favorite.

What hands does villain raise UTG and flat call a 2nd position raise for 22% of his stack. Before the flop action, I would say he has a middle pp or AK.

When you reraise enough so that you are getting 1.6-1 to put the rest of the money in on the flop, you usually should put the rest of the money in on the flop.

Just curious, regarding your preflop re-raise. What do you do here if he re-reraises you a stack-committing rereraise?

I'll let OP answer that, but I think he has to call. By that time he is gettign 1.6-1 and villain could have AK or maybe JJ.

Once you reraise, you are pretty much pot committed preflop and postflop, which is why I say you have to call on the flop.

I might flat call preflop, partly for this reason, but once I reraise, I am looking to get the rest of the money in.
