Deep stacked QQ

[Leobzook]

Not really used to playing at such stacks.

Villain is a good aggro tag.

This play by him is so weird. It kind of looks like he's bluffing the A. What hand do you put him on on the flop?

very weird. i think i might call river and expect to see sets sometimes and bluffs others. that said, fold is obviously also ok, and may be better, i dunno.

earlier play is fine. i mean, you could raise flop or bet turn, but your play is fine i think.

This deep, I think we should prefer pot control.

i think that i'm putting in a feeler on the turn to see where i'm at. Hero's post flop line is too passive here i think.

as played i'd fold w/o reads

[Scaramouche]

I saw that. Good fold, I don't think he is bluffing.

The way the hand played out it looks a lot like you were up against Axcc, probably A6, A8, A9 or AK, or possibly a set.

I think betting the turn 1/3 - 1/2 pot is good here, even if it only means u get a check on the river and can show down your hand. Otherwise good fold, as the only real hands you are beating pre-river are Axcc.
