Default How should I play this hand?

I've been paying off bigger pair with my QQ, JJ. So I decide to fold them more.
Now this happens, how should I play differently?
Thanks.

Move down to 2/4, this sort of play works much better there. PM _ME_ your username, and I'll help guide you along.

In reality, my move at 2/4 would be: Cap preflop, 3-bet flop, see where you are from there. Hmm, remotely familiar to previous poster. Guess I'm ready for the 5-10 game.

Default Re: How should I play this hand?

Thanks for your guys' suggestion, I agree I am acting passive here, but my question is as following:

Since he reraised preflop, I put him on AK or big pair. Now he raised on flop, so he can't have AK, he has TT,QQ,KK,AA, (JJ unlikely since I have JJ). Isn't it 75% chance I am beaten? And there is another caller behind him, doesn't that make my chance even lower?

If he indeed has AA,KK,QQ, following your advice would mean 3bet flop, and bet turn and river? Or expect him to cap flop and what do I do then? check/fold turn?
Thanks again, I appreciate your advice.

Many people with overcards on the flop love to raise, to buy a free card and to know where they stand, I think he could as easily have AK as say KK. Also by raising he's is trying to find out if you had 2 overcards also because you raised preflop too.
