25nl QQ sanity check.

Why do we turn our hand in a bluff by folding here?
I think we raise flop for value (vs. 88-JJ), but have to fold now, since he shows more strength than 88-JJ would do.

I don't think that's what you're doing. 88-JJ are often going to find folds from total nits here, and you fold because you think he's a total nit. So effectively you were raising to find out if he was a nit or not, ie. betting for info. You could just as well be raising 22 here with the same effect.

Which is why I think flatcalling and then calling down is a better line. You don't show any strength, which will often induce villain to start betting with 88+ and AK instead of QQ+ if you raise him. Yes, it's a high variance line. But I'm pretty sure it's the max value line here.

I don't see what 'set mining' has to do with this, by the way. I don't see a Q on board here.
