Default Re: QQ with Overcard Flop - What\'s the play?

OK, you're probably way way behind on this flop. I seriously doubt an AKT flop missed a rock who raised under the gun. You have four outs to a one-card nut straight and two outs to a set of Queens. Your gutshot outs are tainted by a possible split + redraws for AA/KK/AK. Your Queen outs are tainted by the same redraws + they put a four-card Broadway on the board + your set may be dead to the rock's AA/KK. Does anyone else think this looks like an easy fold on the flop? I think this looks 10x as foldable since you didn't three-bet your QQ pre-flop which tells me you're giving serious consideration to the rock having AA/KK. I don't think you'd be trying to "trap" a rock with QQ, especially with people still to act behind you.

You hit your Queen on the turn which is nice but unless you can successfully represent a Jack and scare your opponents out, I think you want a cheap showdown. I don't believe your hand can stand much raising.
