$22 Q,Q early on
 

What do i do here?

If there was 1 ace on the board, i would most likely check/fold. But with 2 can i put one of them on an ace?

And then give it up on the turn if he called?

Re: $22 Q,Q early on
 

He would usualy only call the cont bet with an Ace. So yeah, give up.

Re: $22 Q,Q early on
 

I always ask this of myself and others when they have a hand like this and a flop like this.

If you had an ace would you bet it???? Nope. So why bet here? You have 2 opponents. I think the chance of one of them not having ace is slim. If you bet, it doesn't look like an ace. Then what do you do when you bet and someone doesn't believe you with they're 9s and pushes over you? I am not saying check fold, but I think checking here is a good idea. If no one has an ace then there is only 3 cards in the deck that hurts you, maybe 2 if they both hold a king.

This is not as simple as most people think. If you had one opponent it would be a lot easier.

If I had an Ace, I would bet it

... and if called I would check the turn. Makes for a good amount of Shania.

How about a probe type bet of 1/4 - 1/3 of the pot, try to represent an A building a pot? Do TAG's come over the top in that situation or is the threat that I have an A enough to keep them in line?
