Default Re: QQ preflop, if raised before you?

My first reply was a joke, calling is awful.

If i had AJ and raised, there's nothing more i'd love at getting a cheap shot at that ace.

If i JJ TT 99 and raised there's no more i love than not having to much more money in with the worst of it.

If i had AA KK there's nothing more i love than QQ just calling in it's stack.

Calling in poker for a good player is usually always always by far the worst option because when you call you are maxing you loses and mining your winnings. When you raise you are maxing your profits but then being a good player you are then adjusting your read based on the new information hence you'll be able to lower your losses too.

This is a very very easy reraise, anything a random player there's no way to argue caling is better. However you could probably find - or make up - a player in which calling is better against, yet those players are very very rare.
