Hand #2 from last night's live 2/5 NL game

[DrewDevil]

This is a very soft 2/5 NL game.

I was up more than $1100 after 3 hours and was getting ready to cash out. It was folded to me in the cutoff and I had QhQd.

I made my standard raise to $20 and the BB reraised to $120. BB is the only other decent player at the table. He likes to see a lot of flops and bets aggressively, but I have not really seen him make a big pre-flop reraise without a really good hand.

I call the $100 and the flop is 983 rainbow. He immediately bets $250. I ask him how much he has left and he has another $150 or so. He looks at my stack and says "Jesus, when did that happen?" (I had doubled up while he was taking a break.)

So I have $120 in the pot and a $250 bet to me, with $150 more BB has behind. BB looks very confident and not worried. He tells me he has AA. I say I don't believe him. He says, well then I have KK.

So if I win the pot it's a huge night, probably my best ever. If I fold, I'm still up $1000 and feel sweet. If I call and lose, I'm only up $600 and feel pissed off.

So I mucked my QQ face up. I think this is the first time I've folded QQ on a board like that before.

BB says I made a good laydown. Did I?

you know better than us b/c u were there. Wouldn't have mucked face up tho.

[DrewDevil]

Why not?

i suppose if you were about to leave its ok, depends on if you play there alot with regulars it could be used against you in the future maybe

If you were visibly racking up, go ahead and shove. (calling leaves virtually nothing behind) I'd probably shove anyway. Who bets full pot on a dry flop in a preflop 3-bet hand?

did he see you eyeing the up the racks, your watch and the door?
