Re: QQ in SB turn raise
 

man..tough to find something to give UTG credit for..
board is so bad and raise is soo suprising that my first temptation is to check..
but thinking about it more there are many reasons he could be raising other than having a str8 or set...such as trying to get HU with you..(he puts you on AK etc and wants MP out??)that I might repop him and see what happens

Re: QQ in SB turn raise
 

If EP is a thinking TAG he won't raise the turn here with a hand like AJ because he'd figure he was either way ahead or way behind. Therefore it is likely EP has a hand like a slowplayed AA/KK or, more likely, a set like JJ. I'd just call down here.

I agree he should figure to be WA/WB if its close at all and wouldn't raise.
