10NL: QQ against a 68/25/0.8 in position

So is this a fold? I probably should have let it go on the flop, but couldn't bring myself to do it at the time and I had almost 4:1 pot odds.

With the call on the flop is this a insta-call on the turn? or is it best to just give up now and regret the call on the flop? or should we push here? He is now giving us 8:1 pot odds.

The table VP$P average was about 42 or so.

I guess you gotta call lol. Just hope he checks down at river or gives a cheap showdown. Weird bets like these usually mean weakness but any weak ace is beating you and hes probably not folding to a raise.

I would just fold on the flop... it's pretty unlikely he doesn't have a K or an A and still called preflop. He could have low pockets but I don't see him raising with them on a flop like that if its entirely possible you raised AK, AA, KK.

Then again he is a maniac so I could be wrong.

Thanks for the replies!

Was the pre-flop raise an appropriate size given there was a bet and a call ahead of me?

You can't raise here. What happens way too often here against these micro donkeys is that he calls your raise, you both check it down, he shows you A4o and you vomit. Check/call these miniscule bets to the bitter end and hope he shows you a smaller pocket pair.

Pf is fine, I might bet a little more.
