Default Re: Go broke with QQ overpair?

Hey GoCubs,

I'm glad you've switched over from the barren rocky wasteland that is Stars to the fish filled lakes of Party.

Preflop: OOP, you should raise more. Picking up a pot preflop when you're in the BB is not a terrible result for you... big pairs aren't all that profitable from the blind positions.

On the flop, I think you can frequently find a fold here to the minraise. It depends on Villain's stats and your read (and unfortunately you don't have any.)

I don't think you're deep enough to lead this turn and fold to a raise. I don't like calling the push after you lead the turn again - I know you're getting a good price, but you're not going to be good here. Ever.

If I were going to call the flop, my plan would be to check/call the turn and then check/call or block the river, depending on pot and stack sizes.

Good luck at Party. I hope things continue to go well for you.
