QQ flops an ace.

SB is tight and somewhat passive pre-flop, but rather aggressive post-flop. I've read him for a tendancy to cold-call hands that he would normally call with, regardless of position.

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (5 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero ??

Please include reasoning with your line.

Nightmare, I think i fold it due to Tiny pot and potential Trips or overpair.

Fold.

you most likely have two outs. even if hes aggressive post-flop, you say he is tight/passive preflop. that means he could be coldcalling with hands like AJs because its a "drawing hand" in his mind.

if you continue to showdown you are HOPING he has a trash pair like 66.

just let it go.

This hand is amazingly similar to the famous NPA hand. To recap...

I open raise QQ and only the BB calls.

Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

He bets out and I call

Turn and River are meh: Bet/call, Bet/call and I win.

Yeah?

I respect your posts Shillx, but as a question, arent your average players more likely to hold Ax than Kx ?

So perhaps calling down when the flop is A77 is more risky when you have raised with QQ, than when it is K22 ?

i'll donkbet this with some pair either in my hand or on the flop sometimes, or even check/raise. calling is actually scarier in BBs mind (probably) as you could have the Ace or a higher pocket pair or nothing- you never can be quite sure HU.

so it really depends on the villain, which is all HU play. this is a good place for the WA/WB line and i've read HU play suggests to take the top card off and make it a meaningless 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or something, meaning you have a strong pair and there's no overcards with no draws and only 2 7s left in the deck making it unlikely for him to have it, you figures he's bluffing here more times than not.

..at least that's how i approach this hands generally.

yeah but its cooler to river a Q and raise

Raise and see how much he likes his hand. If he's not tricky he will only 3bet with hands that beat you.

[POKhER]

He raised preflop, This guy might get scared of AA/AK and call down with A.

77 he will 3bet agreed.

I still stand on folding.

[aK13]

The only thing you're beating now is a bluff.

If you raise, a worse hand is folding, but better hands are not (and may 3bet you).

Call call call looks good, or raise/fold seems fine as well IF you think he won't 3bet with a worse hand.
