Default $1 - late 45er - QQ gainst LAG - One Overcard

villain pretty loose so far and making weird plays (part of the reason why i raised so much preflop), but still playing well imo; it was a qualifier with first 4 to advance ( 7handed practically is bubbleplaying id say), so a battle of the bigstacks appears very inappropriate to me here anyway

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (7 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t4800</font>, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t15600

i think i have to fold the turn. i dont like the call on the flop though, but was hoping he backs off and we check it down or something. should i reraise on the flop? thanks for answering!

even for a bigger raise you put way too much in imo. you can make it 22-2600. 3600 is way too many of your chips, and if they are going to call with a wide range anyways, might as well save chips on a flop like this.

I think you need to fold flop here, i mean, what is your plan for the rest of the hand? if you call and he checks turn then what? what if he bets out turn? Calling just sets you up for toughter decisions on later streets.

I raise ~1700 preflop and raise his donkbet to show him who's his daddy.

the call on the flop looks week, especially after the big raise PF. Keep villain under pressure by following through with strength on the flop.

I definitely do not like the huge raise PF. But it is what it is.

Raising to 3600 is really bad, I would rather shove preflop than do that (shoving is also very very bad).
