What happened to MP1?

It sure looks like QQ. It could be Q9 or 33 or a tricky AA but I'm not 3-betting the river. He does not seem scared of the possibility of you holding QQ.

[Bigdaddydvo]

I think a guy as aggressive as he was in later streets would have 3-bet QQ PF. I'd keep pushing.

[27offsooot]

3-bet

[Yerma]

You just call. Seems pretty simple?

[Nick C]

I've been seeing a fair share of preflop cold-calls with big pairs lately. And with every raise Button makes, QQ starts looking more likely.

I think I'd raise at every opportunity on the flop and turn too, but somewhere on the river I'd slow down. (I might just check-call the river, actually, but in any event I wouldn't 3-bet it.)

[Klepton]

this is why people consider you a nit...not because of you actually being a nit, but the fact that you a nittier than other 2+2ers

I'm 3-betting and wishing it was live so i could go 9 bets

[JDErickson]

I'm 3 betting the river.

this is not true considering QQ is the absolute nuts

[sthief09]

considering you have no read and unknowns can do some crazy [censored], I'd pop it again

[toss]

Well you might as well...

I wondered if he is one of these annoying fellas who cold-donks with big pairs, and then 3 bet his ass. He capped and showed me QJo. SHIP IT.

[sweetjazz]

This opponent type makes me think that big win rates are possible. I guess it's hard to consistently sit with such awesomely bad players at your table, but I play late at night and I would say that more nights than not I end up playing against at least one person who plays this donkish style for at least several orbits before busting out or leaving.

Nice hand. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Wow. I thought he'd at least have 33 -- or a vastly overplayed AA, at worst.

Did he continue playing this way, or was he only sporadically maniacal?

[sthief09]

this is a pretty damn good reason to not slowplay

Thank god somebody said it. I had the same action when I flopped quad tens one hand, but I was up against QQ and AA and the AA made a boat on the turn...quite lovely actually.

[Paxosmotic]

He showed down QJo? Had his wife just left him? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Sometimes we forget that people are stupid.

Note to self: people are stupid. Don't slowplay.

And as I say this, I flop a set of Kings...

Edited: And turn quads... and get called down by both the blinds. Donks.
