Default Re: Fold QQ here?

I'm new so someone with more experience please correct me (and explain why) if I'm wrong, but I think I agree with the point about the limpers. With no limpers I think it's a push. Since the SB raised the limpers, it's likely he's got something.

From the villain's perspective, is the check-raise always right? I usually bet that out hoping I get re-raised and can move in right there against something like QQ, JJ, or TT which someone could call me with PF, and then want to take the pot right there when no overcards fall thinking I'm just making a continuation bet. Also, I really don't like risking the free card and then having an A fall on the turn.

Definitely not always. I'd like to hear what some of the more experienced guys say, but I don't like the villain's line at all, even though he got paid off. I'm willing to bet he's not a 2+2'er.

Here's my thinking:
1. I want to make draws pay. BB just called PF, so it seems likely he will just check the flop behind.
2. If hero has an overpair, it seems likely that he would re-raise a flop bet, and villain can 3bet all-in. Hero might still be able to get away from here though, whereas the c/r was almost able to commit him.
