was the reason to get 1/4th of your stack in preflop with one of the worst possible starting hands

[/ QUOTE ]
The last 3 rounds he 3-bet a ton so I was fairly sure villain in this hand had a wide 3-betting range. Button also had a wide range since he was a frequint blind stealer. I also thought that villain would only call with AA/KK and occasionally QQ (very very maybe AK), his range is much much wider than that (the same goes for button) so a 4-bet 'should' be +ev. Later on I refined my reads a bit and realized he was a bad lagtard, but I didn't know this at the time.

This is probably one of the very few situations where I thought a 4-bet with trash had value, it really didn't matter what cards I had since the play is based on fold equity. Not to mention I took 2 stacks on that table because people where calling me down with bottom/middle pair, go go free advertising. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

OP: Expert. I assume you snap call preflop if he pushes too because of pot odds.

Why are people so stupid when they get QQ?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (6 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP ($857.60)
CO ($580.40)
Button ($578.05)
SB ($396)
Hero ($1199.95)
UTG ($1142.65)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $16</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $56</font>, Button calls $40.

Flop: ($114) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $96</font>, Button calls $96.

Turn: ($306) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $222</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $426.05</font>, Hero calls $204.05.

River: ($1158.10) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: $1158.10

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">

Outcome: Hero wins $1158.10. </font>

I know I suck and I never said otherwise.

Oh and nice hand, its played a bit to standard so I'd probably just open push the flop to get value from 45s.

Its a good idea to make this play with reads that will later get refined. And b/c he is 3betting so much preflop after only 3 orbits, it is wise to assume that he only calls w/ AA KK and maybe QQ b/c most seemingly maniacal players dont push on you with any 2 or call incredibly light.
