I feel like I played this way too passively, so comments on all streets are welcome, thanks.

guy with an aggression factor of 4 checks behind? looks like a flopped K-K-K to me. PF is fine.

You played this fine.

ok I'm a newb and all, but why can someone explain why you wouldn't reraise with QQ ? Presumably by not reraising you're worried the guy has AA or KK, but he could have anything like AK / AQ / AJ / QQ / JJ or 10 10 right with this sample size ?

By not reraising, and then checking the flop king are you not just inviting him to take the pot ?

at this level a PF 3 bet means A-A, K-K, or the occasional A-K and thats pretty much it. Barring a specific read that villain 3 bets lighter, its wise to proceed with caution with queens

I guess I have a lot to learn then. Where I play NL50( iPoker ), I see so many reraises with Axo / smaller PPs that I would never even consider playing QQ so cautiously. I just think in this case you're saying to the other guy...here take the pot.

Can you honestly say at NL50 that a PF reraise usually means AA, KK or AK ?? I need to play at those sites if people are that tight / predictable !

Knowing villains 3-bet range is the key to this hand.

If he 3bets TT, JJ, AQ then call the turn, c/f river. Otherwise he is probably slow playing AA,KK,AK on a good flop for him against you likely underpair. So fold.
