Final Pot: t3015 Made the overraise preflop because I was in no way interested in a domino effect 5 way pot with QQ. And just picking up 300 wouldn't be to bad. Post flop, should I just check/fold? Made the small bet to make it look like I want action, waste of 330 obv. Argh! I donked this bad I felt. Ugly, ugly hand. Maybe I should just push this preflop since I have no idea how to play it postflop postflop? |

[/ QUOTE ] and on top of that either call pf with this many players or make a lower reraise. this is still only a $16 and players with big Aces and Kings will still come along for the ride. without being all-in, you lost more than you had to with Q Q on this hand, especially with [ 2 ] overcards on the flop. |

Check fold the flop. I only raise to t300-400 or so preflop as well. I don't call QQ in a $16.

Didn't think it was unlikely both were on mid pocket pairs. The big preflopraise is to take down the pot there and then or get it HU. If I raised to for example 200 and UTG+1 calls, I'm pretty sure the rest comes along as well. So then I get to play QQ in a 5 way pot OOP(basicly play it for setvalue), I don't want that.
I could just call as you said, but that seems a little bit too weak. |

Check-fold is pretty obvious when I look at it now. Just in the heat of the moment I was a bit too worked up seeing that [censored] flop. Too stubborn and didn't want to make a huge raise only to check fold. If you only raise to 300-400 in this situation 90% of the time it will be a multiway pot. And if you should then check fold any flop with overcards I think I prefer pushing PF even if the blinds are micro. There is still possible to just increase my stck 20% right there and then.

![]() OOP to the flop, with THIS many already in, I'd choose to lurk in the weeds here with my QQ. Call PF, check-raise (as much as AI if the action dictates so) a non-A/K flop...check/fold with the overs on board. Over-reraising PF should have been more effective. But regardless, your reraise was too big. Reraising to t250ish will often get you HU...still understanding that the likely caller is holding a large Ace. Even though a mid-PP is just as likely a caller of a PF reraise, your positional disadvantage - and now a HUGE pot, makes taking the lead on an over-flop very dicey. Meh...the whole situation sucks really. 5 to the flop, you could be facing all kinds of draws, flopped two-pairs, etc.etc.etc. Fold PF [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

[/ QUOTE ] maybe you don't but with 4 players already in the pot, i'm looking at how Q Q will fare postflop [this is a $16]. i've definitely called in this spot several times and avoided losing not only alot of chips, but my shirt in the process. i'm figuring that you're up against at least 2 players in this hand that have at least [1] of their cards as an Ace or a King. i'd rather play my Qs against one or two opponents. once you get over [3], that's when problems can happen. if 4 people are already in the pot pf for 60 and you look down Queens, i'm thinking who's suited, who has overcards, who has A K/A Q, and A A/K K? |

Raise to 250-300 preflop. And definately check/fold that flop. You gotta learn to let go of QQ. I'd check/fold KK on an A high flop against 2 opponents a lot of the time.
