($114) Fold QQ to one flop bet

[ryanghall]

Villain is a solid winning regular, xyz888. This obviously isn't my normal line but it felt right here.

seems good, a strong player isnt cbetting worse on that board (AK hearts maybe, but thats close anyways), plus utg behind you prob makes this a fold, no harm no foul.

why no 3-bet pf?
is it cuz if he 4bets, you have to fold and if they fold, you haven't won this much?
enlight me plz! : )

His range from UTG is very tight and I don't know if he's a push AK preflop kind of guy so I'd rather see a flop in position and hopefully outplay him.

This looks like a solid play. I really think this is one of the things you have to be able to do at higher stakes vs lower.

i'd take the same line vs this villian. nice hand.

that is beauty of calling preflop with QQ and having 3 see the flop. his hand becomes very transparent when he c-bets this flop.

If you're playing me I'm going to c-bet that flop about 95% of the time. I knew there was a good reason I do that.

This is very bad, especially on a flop like that. I hope I just plugged a leak for you.

If he is raising something like AK,JJ+ here then the fold is definitley the best play. You are only good if he is c-betting into 2 players with AK, JJ/KK/AA all have you beat and you split QQ. He would have to be opening very wide to make this a call or raise I would think. I like it.

Seems weak, but I can't find a flaw in it. NH
