Default Re: Do you call down against mouses?

Generally speaking, when a guy who's only raising 4% of his hands over this large a sample 3-bets me preflop, I'm already assuming I'm behind. Maybe he's got AK, and maybe he's got the case Queens, but other than that you're sunk.

Given that, when the pot becomes HU preflop, I'm not going to cap with my queens.

Unless this guy is uncharacteristically aggressive postflop, I think you can bet/fold the flop. I doubt he's raising with AK there (maybe with AK hearts, but you lose to that after the turn anyway), and even if he drank a quart of coffee & decided to 3-bet with JJ or TT preflop, you're behind those, too. The pot isn't big enough to draw to your backdoor straight. I probably would peel a card if I had the Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], tho.

This is a tough flop fold, make no mistake, but if you have that solid a read on your opponent, you have to follow it.
