Default your QQ gets repopped preflop so you....

First orbit, no reads. But 3betting is pretty rare right?

What's the preflop decision? And what line to take postflop?

Cheers

Party Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Hero: $24.65
CO: $19.82
Button: $24.25
SB: $29.51
BB: $7.95

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $1</font>, CO folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $3</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero ?

Call, raising folds out everything you beat apart from AK.

Call. Do not automatically put him on A-A or K-K. This is a button raise. We don't have reads, so I'll give him credit for a decent hand.

Board texture is going to give us our direction after the flop. If the board comes out 9 high I check raise him the pot. If he calls, I'm pretty much finished. If the board comes out with an A or K, I lead for 3/4 pot and fold to a raise. A big flop is scary for him too if he doesn't connect. If the flop includes a Q I lead for 3/4 pot and hope he has A-A or K-K.

We have a good hand. Play it hard, but protect your stack.

That's the problem with Qs. Never know how good you are. Good news is that even if he's got As or Ks you're only something like a 3-2 dog I think.
