Default STOP FOLDING QQ PREFLOP

That is all.

That goes for AA and KK too.

This is the only time I do the old "poker prophecy" read. If I raise with QQ and get reraised in L1 or L2 (of a $22) I always check the player out on poker prophecy. Any player with good numbers (~42-45% PP ITM or 37-40% actual ITM) will always have aces or kings.

Fine...qualification is stop folding preflop at 10+1, 20+2 and 30+3 which is where almost all the questions on this come from anyways.

I won't fold it in the 55s unless its to a 2+2er, and I don't consider it a leak...

In a 22... bad fold?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (7 handed) converter

SB (t1570)
BB (t1975)
UTG (t805)
Hero (t775)
MP2 (t650)
CO (t325)
Button (t1900)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t100</font>, Hero calls t100, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t300</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls t290, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="red">UTG raises all-in t805</font>, Hero folds, MP2 calls, SB calls t505.

Flop: (t1317.50) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Turn: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

River: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Results:
SB has 6d Ad (one pair, aces).
UTG has Ks Kc (one pair, kings).
MP2 has 9s 9c (one pair, nines).
Outcome: SB wins.

Slim-

Why are you not raising in your first action? Make it t250. Then when 3 people go allin behind you, you know for sure the fold is correct.

I still wouldn't fold KK ever though.
