Re: QQ Mid position 2nd hand
Hero: Pushes and starts another $11 when Villain reveals 22.
Realistically, I don't know what to do with this hand. There's not enough room where you can reraise without pretty much committing yourself or crippling yourself for the rest of the tourney. If the Villain has any sort of holding you should be afraid of though, he would typically check/raise your inevitable continuation bet on that flop. In fact, he would most likely check/call given how uncoordinated it is. There is the chance he has a monster and is trying to provoke you into pushing by "overbetting." The problem is, 200 into a 180 pot doesn't seem like "I'm betting oddly so I must be bluffing." It feels more like "My A9, A6, TT, JJ, 88, 77, or AK even is most likely the best hand, so it's time to take this pot down." I push I think, just cause I don't like folding QQ at any point in a tourney unless there's A, K, or 4-to-the-something on the board. |

Re: QQ Mid position 2nd hand
That was my logic. I felt if had a stong hand he would have checked raised after the flop, or reraised preflop. I was only beat by AA, KK, or a set after the flop. There wasn't a flush draw. I figured I was against AK-A9.
I reraised all in Villian immediately called and showed KK and took down the pot. I usually will push in this situation. I think it is the right move even though you are occasionally beat by a set, KK, or AA. Do most of you feel the same. My logic is that you will usually be looking at high unpaired cards or JJ-88, not KK, or AA in an unreraised pot. If I were in the Villians position, I would be more likely to call with AK-AJ maybe A10.(I wouldn't play A9). I would probably call with JJ-88s. I would reraise with KK for sure, and likely with AA, but I might call with that hand and try to trap. I don't think there is a way of knowing if he is on AA or KK preflop without a reraise. I think going all in after the flop is correct with QQ. It is just going to lose to AA and KK every now and then. I would be curious to know if anyone would have played this differently.

Re: QQ Mid position 2nd hand
It sucks that you ran into kings, but QQ is just too strong as an overpair on this flop to lay down. Try to think of it as the correct play, and not that it's questionable because you ran into a bigger hand.

Re: QQ Mid position 2nd hand
That is what I am thinking as well, but I wanted to make sure this is the correct play. I am a relatively new player.

Re: QQ Mid position 2nd hand
Fold. It's 110-1 that he has AA or KK, and you're just not getting good pot odds.

Re: QQ Mid position 2nd hand
1/110 for the AA, KK
Seems like the push is the right move since 99/100 you'll be facing an inferior hand. |

Re: QQ Mid position 2nd hand
Oh okay, I didn't look at it that way.
Guess this is just a bad beat then. And in case you haven't caught on...don't post bad beats. |
