Re: $55s- QQ Hand
I had the exact same situation come up last night. I open raised 3XBB from the button with QQ, was mini-reraised from the BB. We each had around t1000 in level 3. My first thought was, "smells like aces or kings". I called. Flop came 9 high. BB checks...
I "knew" he had aces, but eventually went broke on the hand. He had aces. But it brought a philosophical question into my mind: Am I better off just going broke on a hand like this rather than trying to get fancy with my amateur reads?
I think the answer for me at least is even if I smell aces, I'm going broke on a 9 high flop with pocket queens in that situation. Them's the breaks, fire up another sng. I mean, with all the donks on the 11s and 22s, villain could've made this play with other hands (although I "knew" that this wasn't the case) that I'm beating. I'm not going to stop being aggressive. Is this the wrong way to think?
