Why do you say I'm trapping preflop? Did it deserve another raise?

Well it's the second best possible hand pre-flop ... what do you think???

Normally I think 3 x BB is fine as a raise but when blinds are at a miniscule level your 60 is a little low. However that's OK if it has the effect of encouraging a re-raise. But you should have definitely raised it back to him. Raise so that he has to have a little over half his chips in the pot pre-flop - that might well make him go allin.

Thus, I am putting a "typical" player on either AA,QQ or AQ. Therefore, you lose 2/3 of the time

This statement is wrong.

it's wrong on two levels.

1) The hand range is way too narrow.
2) Even with the too narrow hand range, you are ahead 57% (AA=6,QQ=3, AQ=12) of the time getting better than 2.5:1 on your money.

= very easy call.
