QQ in SB

[mr magoo]

Hi,
how do you think I should play this hand, call the flop and check raise turn? Or cap the flop?

Typically, when I'm shown a lot of strength, I'm just capping and betting out on the turn. Hopefully, one of your opponents has 2 pair or a set of 2s and will give you extra action on the turn too.

If they are willing to pay off on the flop, I go fast on the flop.

Especially for a big hand like a set, I think capping actually helps disguise your hand sometimes.

Also a turn checkraise might just drive out somebody who would have cleed your cap and then called down to the river.

thanks. I played it as u said, capping and betting out, they had Ax(rag), and AJ. Then I thought, that I maybe should have gotten more money in the pot if I check raised.

IMO fast playing generally gets the most money in the pot in these situations, even if we disregard the ironic hand disguising it provides. It sucks to see everyone peel the flop and fold the turn right before you have a chance to raise, so bloating the pot ASAP usually extracts the most in my experience.

I would potentially break my finger pressing the bet/raise button.
