Level 1 QQ hand

[Freudian]

MP2 seems donkish. Don't tell me to raise more preflop. I am happy with the amount I am raising and I won't change that aspect of my game. It is working very well for me.

Now for the hand. I feel I am missing a lot of chips by just calling him down. I know I am ahead so often that I should raise. Question is on what street and how much. A big reason is of course because I am doing a horrible job preventing K/images/graemlins/heart.gif from drawing very cheaply.

I think you're being very results oriented here. Unless you have a better read on villain, you have no way to know if you have the best hand, the best draw, both, or neither. He's allowing you to take a cheap showdown with a suspect hand, and I think you should take it unless you hit a Q or the K /images/graemlins/heart.gif.

I don't think I am. I have been in similar situations tonnes of times and judging by those, QQ is good very often when villain bets this way.

Okay, you know better than I.

What do you do if he bets 125 instead of 15 on the flop?

[Freudian]

I'd probably get away from the hand. Mostly because I would know it would take most of my chips to make showdown and he seemed donkish enough to call a flop re-raise all-in with A2 and he might actually have a flush and I would be drawing pretty slim.

Btw. I put him on a T or a 2 when he bets the way he is. He may or may not have a /images/graemlins/heart.gif, but it is far from certain. I have seen this situation time and time again and it is almost always middle or bottom pair they are betting with.

I personally treat t15 bets like a check, and if someone checks to me on that flop, I bet t100.

I won't tell you to raise more preflop, but I'd like to.
