Haven't played or posted in a long time, trying to get back into the swing of things.

Notes on player is "He can fold a hand, aggressive"

I have 125 he covers
NL 200 PP

QQ UTG - I raise $8
Button makes it $25
I call

Flop (53)

10 4 2 (2 clubs)

I check, he bets 50, I push

nothing but he has to charge villain for the AK 6 outs. I don't think he can just call this.

this spot sucks but guess if you are certain villain's reraise range is very wide I guess its ok.

I assume you have no folding equity against KK.

Does anyone just lead for a PSB?

Only problem I see with a flop lead is a re-raise all-in. That would leave me puzzled.

yeah I would have to agree.

easier to get away if you had deeper stacks.

I hear this a lot and I know where you're coming from, but my question is what other lines do you take. When I check it there I'm committing myself to the hand, because I wont let ak or jj take it from me there. Leading and folding to a raise seems good; except for that my opponent won't make a mistake. I can't fold preflop and I have to charge clubs and ak. I think this line is the best way to ge money in when I'm ahead even though I'm probably beat if I get called.

I agree that c/r push is best play. With your short stack, there is no other play.

Just trying to think about other lines that could have been taken.
