Re: QQ in BB
[ QUOTE ]
Sorry but I think this is pretty simple here.

Possibly, but you're wrong in almost all of the particulars.
[ QUOTE ]
Preflop, you have QQ, raise.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, you have QQ - against five opponents. What are you trying to accomplish with this raise?
[ QUOTE ]
Flop. Is the SB the type of player who would call with 2/5 (a gutshot) here?
[/ QUOTE ]
How about with 5-7 or 7-9 for an OESD?

Turn, because you didnt raise preflop the range of hands that the SB could have include every 2 pair, straight draw, and made straight. You could rereraise but if you want a cheep showdown just call his raise. No problem here.

The call isn't terrible here, but raising is better if he is going to play on after the trap-type checkraise. Yes, the hero may not be best, but hero:
A) may be best
B) may draw out (against two pair) if he isn't best and
C) wants to drive out MP1 and button, or charge them heavily for drawing to a lone pair or OESD.

River. You put him on EXACTLY 5/7??
[/ QUOTE ]
How about 2-5, as you initially suggested. However, I agree that he should raise here.
