QQ overpair in RR pot, facing action from passive player, 1/2 FTP

[fruitypro]

My image is kind of crazy. I'm playing 20/15 on the table, but I've stacked several people over the last couple of orbits - the first was QQ v 33 (RR pot) a/i on 889 flop (!) and the next time I backdoored a flush to crack a slow played set and all the money went in on the river :-) I think people are perceiving me as a bit of a luckbox on the table, and a pretty aggro one at that.

My opponent is playing 25/12/2 over 1400 hands - he hasnt got out of line at all at the table, I dont really remember him from any past sessions.

Against a more aggro opponent, I'm gonna be getting my money in preflop or on this flop, but against this opponent, is there a case for slowing down (calling/folding)?

Push! He is definately going to bet this flop so it doesnt mean much and if you call can you really fold to a turn bet getting &gt; 2:1?

raising flop does us no good.
call and fold if he bets a brick

Why not - the pot is huge and I want AK/AQ etc out of this one, although sometimes they get stubborn and call

[McRoNiX]

surely a decent chance of facing AA/KK here?

I think we lose too much those times he'd call or push to our raise. Yes, he might catch up with his AK/AQ about 12% of the time on the turn, but i believe calling is still better. (maybe i can do the math later; dont have time right now)
The way the hand played and his big c-bet on this superdry flop (when a med pp is very likely for hero) i dont think he has AK/AQ here too often. (Would be a good bet if he had though)

Why ? doesn't AJ fire another on blank turn ? obviously if he is RR only big PP we're behind everything in which case a fold now is prudent.

AJ probably is, yes. But that negreanu: put him on a hand you beat and call.

Is a reraise from the blinds with AJ standard in the 1/2 game?

Sometimes I push, sometimes I call. I like pushing here though because you will get looked up by hands like 88-TT. People never believe pushes but frequently shut down when you just call.
