50NL - QQ facing heat

tercet · #1 10-30-2007, 03:20 AM

Most of the time I have no clue what to do in these spots, villian knows me so he has to respect my game a bit. He is 24/18 over 500 hands.

Whenever im in these spots and lose I get mad. But when I fold them I say to myself why am I such a wimp...

Any comments in general regarding these iffy spots.

there's no 4bet

I'd likely peel here, but folding is fine too.

My god, how can you send QQ to the trash like that? If you are going to fold to an undercards flop why did you call pf? At least raise his bet and see if he chickens out.

I'd chuck in a raise for about $28.

He could have AK, prob not AQ has you have 2 of them, maybe AJ.

If he does call you should get a free turn card and then call any reasonable river bet.

I'd peel the flop and see what happens on the turn. I think folding here is a little weak, since you raised in lp and could just be stealing. I don't like raising the flop. If you do it commits you to calling. You have position, use it to your advantage.

Youre only options here are to shove or fold. either are fine. You can't let him catch an A or K on the cheap. If you raise and get an all-in from him, then you might have to call. So put the decision on him.
