friends-

Don't cap preflop with 99.

Sykes is correct, check/fold. Hero missed this flop and doesn't have the odds to continue, especially against a TAG.

Do you normally play tables this tight? If so, I recommned seeking out some looser tables.

he's likely weak - so i'd fire a bet on the flop.
what hands raise UTG but won't cap it preflop? any tag will know you have AQ or AJ...if he has JJ-KK he's folding a lot here.

(and i wouldn't cap preflop out of position against this guy)

I get 1:7 to my flop bet, that means I need only 14% of success to break even. According to probability of 30% of KK, QQ, JJ, TT, TAG should fold half of the time with such hands to give me the profit.
I think the bet on TAG would be correct, weak players as I notice calls their QQ to the end anyway.

your usage of "weak" is incorrect.
a weak player will tend to fold.
a passive player will tend to call down.

calling down with QQ on an ace high board is playing passively.
folding with QQ on an ace high board is playing weakly.

stop, just stop.

calling down with QQ here is not playing passively, it's playing correctly.

this is a perfect WA/WB situation.

if you fail to see this, then there is no hope for you.

listen up, "passive" doesn't equal "incorrect". playing passively can be correct sometimes. and calling down with QQ on an ace-high board IS DEFINITELY playing passively.

WA/WB? wtf are you talking about?
what hands are the OP way ahead of?
are you talking about the 3-betting tag?
if so, he can't use the WA/WB line because he has position on the OP - so in no way is this a perfect WA/WB.

settle down.

this is all a semantic argument anyway. i was merely pointing out some vocabulary issues.

Sorry, usually when people say "playing passively" they usually mean not getting max value out of the hand.

Talking about WA/WB (way ahead/way behind). I was talking about villian and not OP. Hence why I said check/fold would be the best play here.

And you can use the WA/WB line in position (QQ) by just calling down here. Many times people will show you JJ/TT/99 or something ridiculous and your hand will be good.
