Default NL100 QQ I\'m never sure how to play it...

No real read on villain, seems pretty loose-aggro pre-flop haven't played any significant pot with him.

Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 4 Players - (LegoPoker HH Converter)

SB: $113.50
<font color="black">Hero (BB): $173.50</font>
UTG: $94.00
BTN: $134.80

<font color="black">Preflop:</font> Hero is dealt Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 Players)
UTG folds, <font color="red">BTN raises to $4.00</font>, SB folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $14.00</font>, BTN calls $10.00

<font color="black">Flop:</font> ($28.50) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $17.00</font>, BTN calls $17.00

<font color="black">Turn:</font> ($62.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">BTN bets $24.00</font>, Hero calls $24.00

<font color="black">River:</font> ($110.50) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">BTN bets $54.00</font>, Hero ?

Notice that villain isn't even shoving here, he's leaving about 20-30$ behind.

So what do I do here ? shove, fold, or just call ? Turn c/c good ?

I think psychologically hes looking for value so he thinks he has the best hand (not shoving) we can beat very few things, folding is fine

I would at least call this as played. There's a few hands that he could have that you can definitely beat here. I would bet on the turn and I think he will tell you if you're beat or not.

I think a fold here is in order. only real hands that you beat are JJ, AQss and AKss. Folding the river is fine IMO

ugh pushing is spew. As played I call. I'd consider leading river for 1/2 pot and folding to a raise so we can get value from JJ and maybe freeze up KK/AA

Yeah, but if I bet 1/2 pot, I'm gonna get sick sick odds to call if he shoves.

I always wonder if it's because of the way I play these turns that I get in trouble... I never know if playing QQ for stacks on dry T high boards is good against an unknown or not.

Is the turn c/c fine, or should I just bet out again against unknowns ? How do I play a blank river after betting turn ? (I think I'll have about 1/2 PSB left)

Sorry I didn't see stack sizes before. I'd either just shove the turn or crai. I think crai is better.
