6.50 Stars QQ vs K on the flop

[cougar62]

Early in the tourney, no reads. I usually don't fear K's nearly as A's in this situation so I called the flop to snap off a bluff. Did I donk it up here or not?

I think if you check this flop then it should be a check/fold not a check/call.

You like a flop bet? (Upon further review I'm thinking I have to bet this flop but I might be biased)

[MagicKK]

Check/calling is by far the worst play here. Either C/F or C/R. If you C/R at least you'll know where you are in the hand as oppose to just calling. However I don't advocate anything other than a fold here against an unknown villian.

[cougar62]

I dont think it's by far the worst move. But agreed it does suck. Maybe a bigger raise pf to try to thin the field and not have to play OOP to overcards solves this one?

[relativity_x]

you've already bet 4xbb. I think it's safe to say you're beat here. I agree with kevin. If you check the flop, fold to bet.

I don't mind a check/call when deep stacked in mtts and cash games, it's something I do quite often. Here I'd rather lead out for half the pot and see where I'm at, there are some hands that you beat that will call like 88-JJ. The problem with snapping off a bluff is it could cost u your sng life. I would call the turn if you called the flop to snap off a bluff, I don't know many donks that will shove with tp there.

I would bet the flop! He can also have missed the flop, just make your cbet. If he calls you have to worry but in most cases he folds.

Donk in 250 on the flop and see what he does.This really isnt that bad of a flop for QQ.I dislike either checking option.
