The main purpose of the play is to get opponents to fold middle pair and bottom pair on the flop rather than draw to their 5-outers. It also puts pressure on opponents to fold 4-out straight draws.

But, look at the pot odds your opponents are getting on the flop. With six opponents seeing the flop for two small bets, there are 12 small bets in the pot (we'll count the small blind as the rake). You bet the flop and UTG raises. That puts 15 small bets in the pot and give anybody who is going to call two bets cold, 7.5:1 pot odds.

If an opponent is drawing to a 5-outer, they need 8.4:1 pot odds. They're getting 7.5:1. So, at the cost of all that pre-flop equity you're giving up by not 3-betting with QQ, you are making an opponent make only a small mistake on the flop.

Let's say MP2 cold-calls on the flop. Then, any player behind him is getting 8.5:1 pot odds to call drawing to a 5-outer. Now, he's not making a mistake to call.

So, what was the purpose of this play again?
