Default two aggressive/suicidal QQ hands..

Both $27+2 Turbo's - deepstacked on Stars

Been swaying too far from center the past few days, having shot out the "+" end of a tiring two-week break-even streak. Reviewing some HH today, i found a few times that i got a little cocky I'm afraid. Are either of these justifiable?

_______________________________

#1: 1st stinking hand. I popped it pretty hard from EP, as so many times the first few hands get 6-7 handed.

Calling the reraise? Yeah, I think that pretty much sucks. What 20x's a 5x from EP? AA-KK? Can't say what I planned to do on an undercard flop.......

But this flop? We're looking at a pot almost equal to the chips I have left. Ace on board making his AA less likely? Only chance to get him to fold KK? (assuming, he'd believe I'd call his monster reraise w/AK-Q).

#2: 10x PF??! A little big with his stack for AA/KK I'm thinking. He's very healthy, and should have no problem laying down what looked like a middle-pair. WAY too reckless at these blinds?

Default Re: two aggressive/suicidal QQ hands..

#1) I think I would have rather made a decision preflop. It's possible you scared him off KK's with the board and the all-in, but that's hard to say. This hand is tricky for me. If he had KK it's possible you outplayed him, but if he had anything else, you would want to push preflop, in which case I'd say push preflop.

#2) A raise like that doesn't say Aces to me. He either has KK or a range of hands that you beat. With those odds, I think you made the right move.
