Default Re: Common situation - how do you guys handle this?

FYI, if a queen raises in front of me and I have a king up I will reraise probably about 75% of the time with any hand that I intend to play. Unless you know a player well, I won't be folding big pairs to just 1 reraise on 3rd (when heads up), even with a very low ante.

As for what to do with 2 pairs on 4th, I usually wait till 6th to raise if they don't make an open 2 pair. This allows them to keep semi-bluffing if they don't have the kings, and saves you money when they do have the kings and end up making Ks up by 6th. Note that if your board is starting to look scary on 4th or 5th (flush/str8 cards) I might raise sooner because that increases the chnace that they will check you you on 6th if you catch another scary card.

Regards,
Carlos
