$5.50: QQ first hand facing a raise preflop

[PrimetimeUNH]

How was my raise here preflop? Not sure if I should have pushed all-in or raised more/less. What do you think?

I like to re-raise to about 3x the previous raise, so t300 here, primarily to try to discourage other action from those to act behind us and get it heads up with original raiser. If someone pushes all-in after our re-raise, we can decide to call or fold based on our reads, but if we fold we still have plenty of chips to play with if we decide to fold at this stage.

Good job spiking the Q on the flop, nice hand. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

U obviously have to call the flop push faster than Phil Hellmuth called Barry Greenstein

Thats too much. Just raise to 300 preflop (3x the original raise).

Wait.. are you suggesting to put 33% of stack and be pot commited and HAVE to call if any K/A flops?! Please fix that leak!

260/300 is ok, over it's spewage! How about keeping a lil bit of pot control in case an Ace or K comes on flop!
