QQ vs unknown

[Jay_Whufc]

Villain was completely unknown, was his 3rd hand at table. Hows my line? Is there any other way to play this against an unknown?

I would just call on the flop. He might be c-betting with AK/AQ or a medium pocket pair, in which case he would likely shut down on the turn.

If he fires out a big bet on the turn, I'm putting him on AA/KK and folding.

So check/call flop and check turn to him??? Doesnt really seem optimal, though Im not sure what is?!?

this is pretty standard if youve decided you want to felt this hand this is fine. dont like waiting to the turn to do this because you loose action from JJ TT when a A or K falls on the turn or you have to freeze if an A or K comes on the turn.

This was my thinking exactly, good to get some reassurance!
