Re: QQ
 

I'd call rather than 3 bet the flop. Given the way you played it, the turn fold is okay.

Re: QQ
 

with the given action vs. this particular opponent you're drawing to 2 outs about 99.99% of the time here. i think your fold is just fine.

So you call. Turn comes a brick. BB checks and Villain bets. Are you folding?

eh, this is why I like the line you took better.

Re: QQ
 

NH. I have to put utg on AA or KK, and possibly JJ. The only other hand I could put him on would be QQ, but that seems like too much of a long shot given you have QQ and it would only result in a chop anyway.

Evan,

If you want to take this to showdown unless SB and UTG get into a raising war, then calling the flop looks better to me too. But three betting the flop helped define UTG's holding in this hand.

The odds are good enough to call a flop cap for a two outer, so could it have been better to three bet for that reason? I'm not sure because there is a danger that UTG could then stop and go by just calling the flop three bet which would tend to trap us on the turn and river.

Re: QQ
 

nice hand. The flop raising defines villains hand, which is obviously better than yours.
