QQ

A QQ hand from tonight. It was a pretty basic heads up hand and I think I played it as well as I could.

Should the raise scare me enough to fold?

I'm capping the flop. If SB then bets the turn, I would raise it there too. If SB 3-bets the turn, I would call down.

SB may have a set or a flopped straight, but could also have AT.

You have a very good hand, I see no reason to lay this down. Don't play scared, this will loose you money in the long run. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Thanks for the tip.

Yeah I guess at the time I was more worried about two pair but as I read more about poker I realize that I need to play this stronger.

And in case you're wondering I did lose to a flopped straight. Ah well such is a loose table!
