QQ with a terrible image

RockRattler · #1 10-06-2007, 03:09 AM

A few orbits ago I have been caught bluffing and after that I have had to lay down my hand in some rather big pots.

Im running at 21/20/7 - with Att to steal blinds at 53%

Villain seems aggressive but havn't 3bet me before this.
He is running 20/17/2.6

Note that the table is four handed.

BB: $71.26
UTG: $104.25
Hero (BTN): $112.28
SB: $216.96

Pre-Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BTN)
UTG folds, Hero raises to $4, SB raises to $10, BB folds, Hero raises to $27, SB raises to $42.50, Hero raises to $81.28 and is All-In

It really looks like he's either got AA/KK here or is just trying to cheaply resteal the pot over your weak 4bet. Shoving here folds out a lot of weak hands and most likely turns your hand into a bluff. Sure he could conceivably have JJ/AK here, but almost no one would min 5bet with them. Seems weird but I'd just call and let him bluff off a weaker hand, plus you're pretty much getting odds to set mine against AA/KK.

If you think your image is really that terrible though shoving could be fine if you think he calls with worse

The 3bet 5bet minraises from him = the fashionable line today of a valueadding hand.

@Irishman

im a bit unsure what your saying. Do you want to call his 5bet?

this short handed, if he flips aa/kk, it's a cooler. if this were 7+ handed I fold, which I've done several times to aces. I stick it in. Esp with your image, he could be looking you up as thin as AQ/small pp. nh

4betting QQ in position is terrible nearly 100% of the time in this situation

b/c unless he's an complete idiot his calling range is mainly AA/KK/AK. we have position, we can let him bluff, etc. etc. etc.

also, your image isn't terrible, when its 35/30, then you can say its terrible
