Default 200nl: I 4 bet QQ vs 2 players ... call the poosh???

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (5 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Button ($202.75)
Hero ($206.05)
BB ($309.15)
UTG ($194)
MP ($212.70)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $6</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $21</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $66</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $212.7</font>, Button folds, Hero ?

No read on villian. Can I call this? Is this ever NOT AA/KK?

Should I have just flat called in the first place?

I think you have to fold to the push.


The first raise (MP) can be a fairly wide range.

The second raise (Button) must be a tighter range.

The third raise (You) must be a very tight range - You can be no wider than QQ+, maybe AK if you're out there.

The fourth raise (MP's push) must be incredibly bloody tight. I think this is AA more than half the time.

Fold, but just call the 3-bet.

Folding here is awful aful awful. Definitely call.
If you don't want to get all in preflop do not 4bet QQ.

i think i just shove the first time around since from my experience at 1/2 you get looked up lighter than 4betting 3x. people saying folding is awful are idiots since youre an 80:20 underdog ALOT of the time and a 58:42 favorite a very small percent of the time. this is never jacks or something we have crushed, and calling is definitely -ev. fwiw id like this play alot more with suited connectors than QQ if you're going to pitch it to a shove. Do you have stats on either player? fwiw you seem to be bluffing preflop with QQ since no better hands fold and no worse hands except possibly AK call.

As played you could argue a call but I'd prolly fold unless I know the villain pretty well and know he is capable of making this move with other than AA/KK. Otherwise please call the 3 Bet unless you have positive reads on MP and Btn being on fairly wide ranges.

Oddly enough, your 4bet may have saved u a lot of money, by getting the guy to pretty much tell u what he has. NH

It's either AA/KK or AK (Which you see a lot here). Still I hate praying for the times AK shows up here. You have to fold.

Yeah, even if it was AK you're only 56-43. Lay it down unless you think the villain could be making a move with trash but how many villains are THAT aggro?
