Default Re: Early QQ hand

Yeah, that's just a tough spot. I really think that anyone who claims with certainty to know the "right" play here is really just guessing. (Not that the top guys don't have a better idea than me!)

Because of what you said about big UTG raises being stuff that you'd never imagine, I've been burned too many times playing QQ too passively, sometimes just calling and letting others in the hand with pot odds. So now, I'm much more prone to re-raise. It just sucks those few times when the ace flops. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I'd fold because the probability that I'm already beat plus the fact that I feel I can outplay my opponents later makes up for the possibility that I'm folding the best hand (in my opinion anyway).
