.5/1 QQ in UTG+1 stars

[Felipe]

Both villains are loose. Aggro raises a little less than many other maniacs preflop. Semi-aggro bets and raises sometimes with very poor values, but is known to check/call with weak values too. When the flop came with a king, I got stuck. I think this hand could have been played better. What do you think?

Cap that [censored]

[Christian_Peters]

Cap preflop. QQ is a capping hand even against a normal 3-bet. Bet the flop. 3-bet when MP1 auto-raises you. Call down from then - unless an A or Q hits.

[Absolution]

Reraise preflop. You said the guy is aggressive and their are 2 cold callers coming along. At least the flop isn't an A. I would probably donk it as played.

[Befolder]

Betting is better than letting a flush draw have a free card if it checks through. If raised, call down unless it gets crazy or you safely improve.

[Felipe]

As the hand went, I only called the preflop 3-bet. When the flop came, I got all screwed up!

No card except the non heart Q is going to have me betting this here or the river unless the board pairs on the turn and I hit any Q on the river.

*grunch from the cheap seats*

With the #3 starter hand here at this level I cap it. Especially 3 way as someone is in negative ev land and its rarely going to be me.

I have to raise/call here on the flop and make a new decision on the turn.

[Smurph64]

with the check on the flop here and aggro betting I have to call but I don't like it. So many more outs against me now...even a queen on the river isn't safe....someone could have AJh easily enough.

I probably do cap and lead the turn. If villain is aggro, most hands he has don't dominate yours. If he raises the K, I probably call down at that point.
