Re: QQ out of position against a reraise
i personally think that you're reducing your equity by check-raising all in on the flop. Villain will never fold AA or KK to that bet and will fold AK some significant portion of the time (~30% of...

I also don't care for hand 4 as you're going to be putting in a hefty percentage of your chips if someone behind you 3-bets. Unless you are looking at this as simply a 72o steal-hand and you simply...
