QQ in BB facing 3-bet

wheelz · #1 06-20-2007, 09:00 PM

opener is 20/15/1.9 and 3-bettor is 18/14/4.25. ironically my only notes on him are that i've seen him coldcall a 3-bet with a big pair in the blinds. so what do i do differently?

i dont play cash games but if this was a tournament i would go all in before the flop

i might lead the turn. as played getting 3:1 I'd probably call and fold the riv.

wow. dont fold the turn, if you call again and he pushes river blank, then maybe fold. but probably call

well yeah that's the thing, the turn bet size. if he shoved the turn i quickly fold. if he checked well that's obvious. but wtf is with that bet. it just seemed like a "i know you have JJ/QQ so i'm gonna let you commit this 111 so you can't possibly fold for another 200 on the river" bet but obviously i'm not too confident about that. what hands do you think he's betting that small with? sure he could have JJ but why bet instead of check?

I play it the same.

Looks like you played it okay. It's pretty unlikely he's bluffing like that on the turn and it seems you are WA/WB.

This is well played I think. Your hand is pretty face up. His bet looks like AA/KK that knows you have JJ/QQ and doesn't want to lose you. He's not trying to bluff you ever, and a guy with these stats should know better then to value bet a lesser hand.
