Basic QQ preflop problem
6 max 2-4
Hero (~400) who is only 15 hands into session opens for 14. Folded to button (~375) who raises pot (50ish total) Button has been pretty quiet for the first 15 hands. So has hero. Ick. I can't find one appealing option. What's the usual plan here? Marlow

Re: Basic QQ preflop problem
I should have specified that I never considered folding. This seemed too out of the question to even exclude in the OP.
I'm torn here between reraising and calling. I did, in fact call here, though I wondered if I had anything to gain by potting this. Marlow

Re: Basic QQ preflop problem
In general it takes a stronger hand to re-raise than to open-raise. This means a couple of things. You have a much wider range of hands that the Button, and Button should have at least AA, KK, QQ, AKs. Of course the range could be wider, or much wider.
It's just a preflop re-raise. It's not like he insulted your mother. You're very likely behind, could be ahead, but call, see if you can find fame and fortune in the flop.

Re: Basic QQ preflop problem
w/out a read, i could see this possibly being a fold - but not sure what I'd do in heat of battle. Seems like it will be a very marginal to -EV play vs. a standard 2-4 reraiser.

Re: Basic QQ preflop problem
if you have reads, this can be the easiest fold ever. against an unknown, no way i fold.

But when I used to play 2-4, a vast majority of reraises were AA-QQ,AK (even AK wasn't that likely). This may be different now but that was my experience when I played that level like over a year ago.
