you are beat? I have lost 3 buyins in 2 days when I knew that I was beat PF by Aces or Kings. Both times I paid them off. I know this is a MAJOR leak but I am having a rough time laying them down. Anyone else have this problem with Q's?

Um if you are in the 33s or less and you are laying down QQ pre-flop, that's a major leak IMO.

Over the last 2 days I have had 3 of those "I just know he has AA or KK situations."

Once he actually did flip AA.

The other two flipped 22 and 55.

Lots of players like to re-raise all in with small pocket pairs ,even with a raise and a re-raise ahead of them.

Folding QQ PF at a 33 and below is a leak.

These are the 55's and twice the person limped from EP. I raise the pot and get reraised the MINIMUM. That tells me right away I am against the monsters. The flop would come and it's rags. I bet and of course get raised and now have to make a decision. Well that decision has been the WRONG 1 everytime. Each time I suspected the aces Villain had them.

Have you been able to make good laydowns before this? ie. your gut is telling you to lay it down and you do?

The reason I ask is mostly when I get to the point where I can't follow my gut or ,my timing is off, I take a break for a few days.

Not really with Q's. For some reason they are hard to laydown on a rag board. But I kick my ass everytime I do this mistake. I am hoping that I will get away from this now and let the damn hand go.

I have my share of leaks and this seems to me 1 of the big 1's. I will overcome it.

55s.... well that's out of my territory. NVM then, heh.
