It's clear I don't know how to play QQ

[ QUOTE ]
So please help me:

$500 max 2/3/5 10 to open at Lucky Chances, SF. I have $1300, villian has about the same. I open UTG to $35 (standard raise) with QQ and get 4 (!) callers. Villian on Button makes it $150.

I have been playing pretty LAG, raising J2s and KK the same, showing lots of weird hands, people think I can be crazy. Villain is a rock, no two ways about it. I've only seen him play back when he has a monster. Therefore, I feel that the reraise is either AA, KK or AK. I call time, think for a while and make it $400 to go. Folds to villain who calls. So now we are down to KK or AK.

Flop comes rags. With $900 left, I push. He calls with KK, I don't improve.

I'm not sure what I could have done differently preflop besides fold. And with the preflop play, I don't see how I could have played the flop differently! Help!!

I believe you have two things you could have down differently to avoid going broke in this situation. The more obvious one is not re-raising the "rock" which is usually not a good thing, which put too big a portion of your stack away to get away from the hand when the flop comes rags. Another thing that some may or may not agree with me is that I like checking the flop and seeing what he does. Im not sure of your reading abilities or how much you know about this guy, thats just my opinion. I dont think he would have pushed to hard with something like AK when the flop is rags, but if he pushed realy hard, than you would prolly know that your beat considering he is protecting against the Ace.
