Fold preflop.

No, you can't get away from this. Next hand.

I wouldn't raise the river. It's only one bet to you for the river and his raise on the turn isn't especially good news for you, suggesting he could be slowplaying fives. Other than that, I think that there's no way you could've gotten out of the hand.

fold preflop, you can't be serious.

against a player who's close to going allin I would try to ensure that we get all the money in the pot. Many players will just throw in their last chips with any half decent hand so chances are that QQ is ahead.

Sure, go ahead get away from the hand. Fold the turn. Then you won't have deal with the crushing blow of having your overpair cracked heads up. Of course, you also won't have to deal with the joy of watching the SB flip Tx 7x a pocket pair below QQ, 68, two diamonds, or any other of the rediculously large field of hands you have beat on the turn.

If you had some sort of extremely solid read on this guy that he would only check raise the turn with trips or better then fine you can get away. That is obviously not the situation here and almost never is online at shorthanded tables.

Very good played taking to mention he has a little money in pocket. If not for this fact i would 3-bet turn.

You have to bet/raise it just about the whole way, especially against an unknown who is short-stacked. Too bad about the outcome.

Played fine. River raise is closer if he has enough chips to 3-bet, but I'd still do it. No question at all if he'll be calling all-in.

P.S. No, DaveB was not serious.
