Making the switch to six max and need some help with my line here. Villain is 42.86/16.07 after 56 hands. I have raised last three pots in a row. I have a lot of trouble with QQ in this spot. Not sure what villain's reraising standards are here, but my table image (getting away with lots of position steals, etc.) leads me to believe he could be reraising with less than a premium holding. Help?! What do I do, bet more? c/c it down? I'm honestly lost here.

Sometimes I just feel that if you get reraised you're best to muck anything short of KK since it's usually AA or KK reraising you.

After that.... what can you do?

WOW, are you playing on scared money?! I think the implied odds of hitting a set are huge, and I'm within the 5/10 rule against AA/KK but look at the reads and situation here, particularly villains stats. Folding preflop when we're way ahead is just giving money away. Correct me if I'm way off base but folding preflop seems right out! Post-flop is where I'm struggling. PSB on flop maybe? c/c flop lead turn? After leading flop, maybe c/c turn c/c river? Thanks guys.

i wonder what would happen if you lead out for more on the flop, say $9 or $10. would you be able to slow down with the QQ?

i wonder if you check the turn, how much he's gonna fire at you.

I don't like leading the flop here. If he missed with AK he will fold and if he has an overpair he is gonna put you in a tricky spot (by calling down like he did, or by something gay like min raising you where your gonna lose alot more money).

Check the flop and go from there. From the way he played the hand I am sure his bets will be pretty small and you will not lose much if you are behind.
