In a 4 handed game, I fold QQ preflop exactly 0 times out of a million.

And people call a 100BB AI w JJ-TT AK often enough to make this profitable? I think this is a leak, there is no way that this is better than a coinflip long term. Anyway, I call the RR and fold flop.

Nowhere did I say go all in. I just said don't fold. Reading comprehension FTW.

Ya but by not folding QQ preflop and calling a 4bet, you're pretty much committing yourself to the pot if no A or K flops.

You're calling a 3bet, not a 4bet. If no A or K flops, you'd have to be braindead to not want to play the hand with an overpair while playing 4handed.

I think you can laydown queens easily here. You have to fold to the 4-bet. Why:
* You can't call his raise for set value (not deep enough)
* I think his 4-betting range is like (AK, KK, AA, QQ) so you're at best in a coinflip situation.
* If you consider JJ in his 4-bet range you're still behind on his range.

Only when its a really madly raising donk you can consider calling the 4-bet, and shoving on a flop without overcards. I think therefore this is spew.

Sorry, it is a 4bet, not a 3bet, misread.

Either way, I'd include a lot more in the range when playing 3 handed.

On the other hand, I could be wrong since I rarely play 3 handed.

At 10NL I don't think you're going to see people adjusting their play to table conditions a whole hell of a lot...at least I never saw it.

The villians range at 10nl is going to be at the tightest JJ+ ak+ which you have ~50% equity against. You have to call with odds alone, and if you add more hands to that range you have it dominted.

Maybe 10nl has changed, but that play is fine. Especially if he's a little looser (i.e. a read would be nice). Then again, my last 2k at 10NL I was a loser (-0.5ptbb/100) or so. I'd strangle myself if i had to rebuild my roll at 10nl again.

FWIW, i think you played it fine. A little higher EV is calling his 3bet and getting it in on a none A or K high flop.
