Party 3/6.

Villains:

1) LAA (50 hands, but raising with K9o, 64o, 87s, 3-betting the flop with a gutshot, bluffing the river with k high and showing when he wins, etc. etc.)

2) TAA pretty good player (200 hands)

3) TAA very good player (200 hands)
One fold and a

PF: One fold, Villain 1 raises, Villain 2 in UTG+2 thinks and raises, folded to Villain 3 in MP2 who thinks and caps. Folded to you on the button. You have QQ.

What do you do?

Why do you do it?

How do you play various flops?

I think I'd have to fold. I'd have to figure the capper has QQ-AA, AK. I think I'm behind most of the time though and bad implied odds to flop a set. The fact taht he's reraising an isoraiser might widen his range, but I'm still skurred.

Could you give a little more information about the the TAA villians please?

I'd be leaning towards folding but gettin just over 3-1 on the call(assuming villain 1 an 2 call) and having position with a premium hand maybe you could call. The main problem i think in this situation is that if the flop is good ie: all undercards then you could easily be losing and getting stung for a lot more bets.

are hands like AK, AKs, JJ, and TT not possible ?

would anyone call with JJ? i'm thinking no, just making sure. i'm afraid i'd definetly call with the queens but i'd be regretting it the whole way.

Villain #2 is probably re-raising in an attempt to isolate villain #1. Villain #3 is who I'm really scared of here. Because of this situation I don't necessarily put anyone on KK or AA. Uggggg.. hell, I'm probably still folding, but its close.

calling 4 cold is AA-KK and QQ in this situation. Anything less is getting muckdogged. The QQ call is still questionable.

I'd probably call with 22 in this situation...implied odds are gigantic, IMO.

Sure it'll probably be a big pot, but you're only getting 3:1. You're also putting in 4 bets, so relying on implied odds isn't a great idea.

Well, you'll have to catch a set w/ 22, QQ you still have a chance of winning the pot UI.

I don't like our implied odds, and our reverse implied odds is also troubling.

I guess the answer is: "Tough Question" /images/graemlins/wink.gif

If Villain #2 and #3 were reversed, it would be an easy fold, IMHO.
