I don't understand your first note. You're saying that I should reraise him to 25 (another 22$ he'd have to call and like 8x what he bet)? This doesn't seem logical to me at all. It's fairly easy to get away from QQ facing a bet for half your stack preflop. I can't see anyone calling that with anything other than AA or KK. If AK decides to call, he has to figure he's AT BEST going to split it with the raiser (Who would raise that high with anything other than KK, AA or MAYBE AK). Also, if he reraises me another $25-30 on top of my $9, I can get away from my KK (it's not as hard as people think...). My reraise to $9 is a bet that says "I mean business."

I like my preflop play in this hand...
