Tilt 10$ - Non Turbo - Pocket Queens - Rate my play

[SilverLocks]

I am making money at the 10$ tables but before I move on up, I am re-examining my play in detail. In this trny I finished 2nd but there was a hand early on where I felt my choices were fold or push. (Note that it is very rare that I will fold queens...) Also note that the stats are accurate - it is a gift [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

UTG+1 / vpip - 40% / pfr - 30% - Fat and happy and is in many of the hands - In this game I never had seen him slow play
MP1 / vpip - 25% / pfr - 0% - he had never raised pre-flop in the first 45 hands... With his preflop raise - I put him on high pockets or a bit of a tilt (because of the weakness of the bet size...)

You should at least call even if you were just going to play for a set or overpair...
Really you should make it ~360 and call a shove, especially since you cover MP by 1k chips.

Please remove the results to get honest answer.

This looks like an horrible fold. Reraise preflop t400.

[hoyasaxa]

I dont get it...you folded pf? are you serious?

You should probably be reraising here, but as was already said you could at least play for set value.

You only have to call 80 more from the BB; if you were 100% sure he can only have AA or KK you should still be calling purely for set value.

Thank you for your comments - it was the shock of being raised pre-flop from someone whom I thought was dead [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] - I hear and obey [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
