Default $100 NL QQ r/r PF

Villain is 40/14/3 over 150 hands. Haven't seen much from him since I sat down though.

If the flop isn't all spades or I have one do I flat call flop?

Full Tilt Poker, $0.50/$1 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 4 Players
LegoPoker Hand History Converter

Hero (UTG): $116.70
BTN: $100
SB: $162.30
BB: $57.60

Pre-Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (UTG)
<font color="red">Hero raises to $5</font>, BTN folds, <font color="red">SB raises to $16</font>, BB folds, Hero calls $11

Flop: ($33) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $25</font>, Hero...?

Thanks,
ChipsAhoya

Few things

- I don't really like 5BB as a standard open here, but I guess it's not a huge thing. Is this normal for you?

- Has there been a lot of 3betting at this table? If I had an active image and there had been some 3betting going on, I would be inclined to 4bet this preflop. A call in position without a lot of history seems fine, though.

- If I had QhQs or the flop wasn't all spades I'd be inclined to shove over his flop lead 4-handed. His stats look pretty aggro/donkish, etc.

As played, this is tricky. A lot would depend on reads (has he been general laggro or passive, will he fire multiple barrels, does he only 3bet the nuts pre, etc.). I would probably call her and re-eval on the turn. Obv if the board 4 flushes and he leads we're folding. If an over falls and he leads I'm probably folding. If the turn bricks out I'm probably all in.

if we flat the flop planning to fold the turn were giving up a huge amount of equity, way too often. vs this guy we have the nuts.

Whyfor? Given he's 40/14 I think his 3betting range is semi smallsh since he flat calls so often. He's a bad player and will define his hand for us. He can't/won't really bluff if a spade or over falls on the turn. If he has something like AsKh we're a slight dog now, but he'll still get it all in on a bricked turn with us when we're a big favorite.

except hes going broke with any overpair and probably any decent spade combo, letting more cards come scares his overpairs and lets him hit his overvalued combo draw for a cheaper price

I'm not sure he stacks off with any overpair, two red nines might fold to a raise here but might put in some more money on a brick turn. I think he'll still pay on the turn for those same combo draws, except at a worse price with less equity. I'm also assuming he's not going to range merge or anything wild and will just play face up.

shove is my std.

also, i dont really mind the call line, just alot of turns kill our action/etc. call/get it in on a blank turn where our equity is much higher isn't a horrible plan though imo.

second line seems like the best option IMO, if he has a spade draw hes prob not folding to a shove and if he has us beat he def isnt, so just call and get it in on a good turn with better equity against his draws and the chance that hes double barrel bluffing.
