How would you play this QQ
1/2 live 200 max
Here are the relevant stacks: (approximate) hero: $180 villian: $220 villian is a rock. I am LP with Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] villian is UTG makes it $10, folds to me I make it $40, folds to villian who calls, folds back. Flop $83 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] check, check turn 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] villian bets $50, hero folds. villian says "queens, right?" The only thing I can think of is betting the flop but there is no doubt in my mind that he has AK/KK or AQs/AJ possibly JJ. Obviously I played this like QQ but is there a better line or is this standard? |

Looks fine. If he's a rock, it might be better if you call preflop and try to stack him (will he go to the felt with AA-KK overpair?).

Do you also raise AA/KK to $40 here?

Re: How would you play this QQ
Raising to $30 will achieve the same result here.
There could be merit for a continuation bet on the flop of about 1/2 pot (looks like a big hand) depending on Villains raising standards and calling reraises(would he call your reraise with AJ or AQ). The 1/2 pot CB only needs to be successful more than 1 in 3 to be a profitable play. Your line is probably fine though... |

If you just check/behind you are showing too much weakness. Is it possible he has TT or JJ here? I'm not giving up this easily here, raising to $40 in LP indicates you have a hand. |

Re: How would you play this QQ
You have weakness with a minor draw. This scenario screams continuation bet. 60 bucks will get teh info you need.
