$55 - Tough flop decision with QQ

[Isura]

braveheart is pretty loose, louie is a bit loose but not terrible. Not sure how aggro louie is.

Easy flop fold?

With your stack and that flop? I'm outta there.

Im folding here.

I think it's a pretty easy fold. You are usually behind, and your draw isn't that great since it's pretty likely that one of the A's is already out.

Since when have you played the $55's by the way? I'd hate to see you in my tables!

pretty easy fold

[Maulik]

I vote for a fold, do you like deep stack poker?

(er)

The guy just bet nearly half his stack into two other players, including the PF raiser. I'd say he has at least top pair, so you're behind and you don't have the odds to chase. Easy fold.

While I don't think the fold is so "easy", it does feel like the guy has a KQ, KJ, J10, or K10 here. But, with such a powerful hand, why is he betting out so much? Wouldn't he raise after you continue on this flop, especially with his shorter stack trying to become a big stack? A lead out seems quite counterproductive by your opponent, which suggests a desire to end the hand right then...I don't know, seems fishy, but I would still probably fold this because of the King on the flop, and the small size of the blinds.

Just started some 2-tabling. I dunno what to make of these games. They don't seem much harder than the 22s, but my biggest mistakes seem to be in levels 1-3.

Example, I pushed in this hand, and he showed JT.

Having read your posts I'm sure you'll be a winner in the $55's. I think they're very soft, considering that a noob like me can make a living out of them.

I've had trouble giving opponents' hands enough respect in these as well, partly because of getting used to the craziness at the smaller buy-ins and partly because of just not making an effort of putting them on reasonable hands. I do think I've learned some lessons lately, though, and it seems like you've learned one with this hand as well, good luck /images/graemlins/smile.gif
