Default Re: Fold QQ preflop?

When I cap this preflop, it's not for value as everyone else would imply. I want to make sure BB can't come along and give UTG a chance to fold to two cold.

Both UTG and CO are tight passive players with UTG being really tight passive.

Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises</font>, 5 folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO 3-bets</font>, Button folds, Hero calls, BB folds, <font color="#cc0000">UTG caps</font>, CO calls, Hero calls.

Flop: 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (13SB, 3 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, <font color="#cc0000">CO bets</font>, Hero calls, UTG folds.

Turn: T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (7.5BB, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">CO bets</font>, Hero calls.

River: T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (9.5BB, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">CO bets</font>, Hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: 11.5BB

My plan was to call and see if UTG would cap it. If he did I would c/f the flop unless I spiked my queen. If he did not I would c/r a non AK-flop.

However I got confused when UTG checked the flop so I ended up calling CO down.

Cap PF.
Raise Flop.

Take it from there.

I find you just get punished again and again for not getting information on these hands - you try and save a small amount early and pay and pay calling down with no idea what's going on - in fact I am glad I saw this post, I'm done with value betting and I'm am going to hammer myself on this for a while.

I understand now that I relied to much on my stats (and played horrible as well ...) since after some more hands UTG is classified as slightly loose aggressive. CO is still classified as weak-tight and showed down AA. I was definitely a bit results-oriented when posting as well ...
