(22 reg) QQ early vs. random donkey

[cakewalk]

FPS ?

I might make this raise with KK, but QQ is so vulnerable you gotta just push when there's considerable money already on the table.

PUSH. You will get called by enough worse pairs and worse aces to cover the rare times that you're beat.

Correct conclusion, but the consideration isn't that you might be up against AA or KK. It's whether you are extracting maximum value from your hand. In this case, your push will be called PF by a weaker hand sufficiently often to cover the cases in which everyone folds. Therefore, it's not worth the risk to make a smaller raise.

UTG has a middle pair about 80-90% of the time here. They want to see a cheap flop to try to hit a set, but when someone raises they get all pissy and push, thinking "hey, I tried to be nice and let people see a flop, but you wanted to raise, so this'll show you"

I think I'm the only one on the forum that doesn't know what FPS stands for...anyone care to enlighten me?

push when it gets to you the first time with 3 limpers already. the pot has 450 when it gets to you and thats 1/4 of your stack and a nice addition.

Where fudge is made. Just an approximation from my own experience.
