Default 25/50 deep - passively played QQ v Urindanger

This hand was played by a friend of mine today. Main villain in the hand is Urindanger, who im sure a lot of you know. Hero and villain had both been fairly aggro, raising and 3betting light, although they hadnt got into any big pots with each other yet. The other guy was not particularly relevant as he was donkish and presumably the mark at the table.

Comments on all streets appreciated.

Deep stacked out of position I would make a bigger RR preflop. Do you know your friends plan when he checked flop? Interesting hand..

IMO your friend's hand is face up by the river..... and the fact that urindanger bet into a 3 way pot on the flop indicates at least a big draw or a big hand....... all the draws got there, and AA/KK/set is still good....

I think this is a clear fold.

if hero had been 3-betting light, why didn't he bet the flop?

there is a reason you 3-bet light, and it's not so you can flop a 5 high flush draw and get all-in and suck out.

i would fold river against most players, and def urin

Yeah I'm really not a fan of the flop c/c, betting or c/ring are both much better. As played fold.

okay, well it seems that everyone hates the flop c/c and prefers leading or check raising. fwiw i spoke to my friend about his flop play and he explained that had it been 100bb's he would have just bet/called or tried for a CRAI, but stack sizes made it awkward and so he ended up going with the c/c.

so now the question is, if you bet how are you responding to a raise, and if you CR are you going to call a push?
