call... looks like player next to u mite think he's a badass being ex football player and will call... if u flop Q i would lead 1/2 pot inducing ray from AA or KK even whiffed AK and then c/rai on almost any turn so men's pot committed after he bets turn and will be commited to call- SHIP it (if Q flops) if not u could lead/fold and go for showdown value or even be a nit and c/f its J high flop comes- obv fold if K or A comes on flop

Hero has position. And leading 1/2 pot with QQ would be stupid. And player next to him wouldn't call because he thinks he's a badass, he would call just because bad players don't fold. How is lead/folding going for showdown value?

Congrats: you're now of one 3 posters I have on ignore

call, and crai on an undercard flop if men bets.

He can't checkraise, he has position.

But that's the right basic idea, call and plan to get it allllllin if the flop is right.

What kind of range would you put on Men here?

How much less likely is a squeeze here since he potentially would end up OOP if called?

Default Results and Thoughts

With Men's preflop reraise I was almost certain he had AK.
I don't think he would have reraised as much if he had Aces or Kings. When Men is not losing or drinking in a cash game
I think he is relatively easy to read.

The fellow behing me, Mr. USC, I wasn't real sure where he was.

If I moved all in BTF I wasn't sure how Men would react. I don't know if he would have called or not. Since I was uncertain what his response would be I opted to call and see the flop. The fellow behind me called also.

Flop came something like 248 rainbow. Men checked. I made
a pot sized bet, fellow behind me called (he was all in for most of the bet) and Men folded. A king came on the turn and Men went ballistic until a jack came on the river when
Mr. USC flipped over his pocket jacks.

Poker sure can be fun.

Bruce
