Default 25NL QQ vs shortie and superdonk

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Poker"]http://www.flopturnriver.com/reviews/Online-Poker-PokerStars.php#converter]Poker Stars[/url] Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

I have UTG at 70/5/1 over 100 hands. He's busted me once before, flopping the ass-end of a 4-5-6 flop when I had 66, and I've seen him go to SD at least twice with A-crap.

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

BB ($13.15)
<font color="#C00000">UTG ($19.35)</font>
MP ($23.35)
<font color="#C00000">CO ($2.20)</font>
Button ($6.25)
Hero ($24.75)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.25, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $2.2</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $6</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls $5.75.

I reraise preflop to isolate shortie, but once genius calls, I'm planning on commiting on a safe flop and feeling good about it regardless.

Flop: ($14.45) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $13.35 (All-In)</font>, Hero folds.

Once the ace is on the board, I check and fold to his shove. He shows A2s and takes the pot down. (Shortie left table)

Turn: ($14.45) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: ($14.45) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>


My question is about the preflop reraise. Do you just call here and try to lure the drooler in, or do you raise figuring you're a good fave? Is my commitment thought right?

I re-raise but I don't know if I re-raise THAT much. I raise it to about $3.00. If you get the idiot to call then that's fine.

Flop; I don't put a lot of stock in the AF with only 100 hands but I think you can read into what you have is that the idiot is not a maniac. Probably more of a calling station and plays TP any kicker Aggro. Because of this I fold to the shove and don't think twice.

Shortie raised AI, so I think the minimum I could raise there is $4. If he'd made a normal raise, I think I'd reraise there, also, (but probably for 3ish)

Are you not wanting to see a flop against the idiot? Personally I don't care either way so I give him the reasonable choice.

[/ QUOTE ]called w/QQ by a 70/5? I feel pretty good. I'd have shoved to, if he calls he calls if he doesn't w/e.
