Re: Standard times to lay down QQ preflop.
[ QUOTE ]
Usually heads up is not a good time to muck QQ. This action could be AK as much as it could be KK, AA.

So you're content with calling the raise OOP with at best a coinflip? If the flop comes with an an A or K (no Q) what's your action? If it comes all unders? A call preflop is a decision to play for your stack. Flop has a $30 pot. If you bet 20 on a ragged board and get put all in you have to call. it's 15 back to in a 85 pot.
At best we're risking $29 to win the $21 dead (figuring worse hands will fold unimproved to a 20 flop bet, your call is 9, and contiuation bet is 20), and stacks are too shallow to call for set value.
