yeah, only 4 players left, and yes, obviously 4-handed queens is a monster. the question is: should i take a chance and push here, or should i have coasted into heads up, then destroy the old guy with my awesome heads up play?

That is a very interesting question. I have laid down jacks and even queens once or twice to players I only have seen raise premiums, and it has always been the correct decision. (Thank you PAHud) If he's one of those players that ONLY raises QQ+ and AK, you should fold it and just wait for a better spot. Like Steve Dannenman says "folding to a raise is only a small mistake". Can't lose money you don't put into the pot, and often your first instinct is right.


equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 47.3659 % 45.79% 01.58% { QQ }
Hand 2: 52.6341 % 51.06% 01.58% { JJ+, AKs, AKo }

We are behind to his range even if you add pocket jacks. I see no reason to flip for most of your stack, as he will probably be pushing you on any flop unless it completely misses his AK or JJ.
