Re: QQ hand 5-handed
[ QUOTE ]
Couple of questions here, but first some background. Hero is new to short handed play. Villian in this hand is viewed as aggressive, but I don't know if aggressive = LAG fishy in this scenario. Hero certainly views villian as pushing weaker hands.
The hand: Poker Stars $1/$2 blinds. One limper to hero with Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero raises to $6. Villain raises to $16 on the button. Blinds fold, limper folds. Hero raises to $32. Villian calls the additional $16.
(first question here. What do we think about the hero's 3rd raise OOP? Good against an aggressive opponent?)
Flop: T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($66 in pot approx)
Hero bets $22. Villian calls $22.
(thoughts on the flop bet?)
Turn: Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (Pot: $104 approx)
Hero checks, villian bets $22, Hero raises to $64, villain raises to $142 and has hero covered all-in....
Thoughts on the turn play?

I flat call the preflop reraise. $45 on the flop, shove it in on the turn.
As played, I think that the turn raise is incredibly weak, giving villian odds to a flush draw, though I think he's got AK or a set of his own (hopefully!) anyway. Even if he's got AK, you've got a big redraw on the river. I check-raise all in on this turn.
