Default QQ fold-able ??

First hand on this table and have come in on the BB....Have a few hands on SB & MP2.....as they are both multi-tabling on 1/2 tables that I am also playing....

They look like 25/8 type players....?



PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

SB ($186)
Hero ($125)
UTG ($30.40)
UTG+1 ($27.25)
MP1 ($239.60)
MP2 ($73)
CO ($52.60)
Button ($33.85)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls $2, CO calls $2, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to $8</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $16</font>, MP2 calls $14, CO folds, SB calls $8.

Flop: ($50) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $18</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to $36</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to $18</font>, Hero ??

Is this a standard fold...?

Didn't see your stack... but with a minraise you're giving the first raiser awesome odds to catch something, same with the other guy... And uh, 18$ into 50$ on the flop? You're just asking to be raised here

I agree, you probably want to bet more, or check-raise him. One of my big problems is underbetting pots as well, but I think you need to bet a minimum of $25 on this flop if you aren't going to attempt to check-raise.

Yeah I see that....There's a problem with my game that has me betting incorrect amounts and leaving myself difficult in situations....

I understand my flop bet is incorrect along with my PF raise...Problem is now...I have been raised and that has been raised.....Standard fold yet?

Mmm... I would make it about $40 preflop and prepared to get all in on any non A or K flop.

As played, this is a fold, he's not check minraising two players with anything you beat. Thank him for being a donkey and fold.

Wouldn't raising to $40 pre-flop mean you're either going to pick up $8, or get raised all-in if someone has AA or KK. Are you planning on calling if you get raised all-in???

I agree.

The problem here IMO is putting them on hands... SB's line makes no sense, I can't put him on anything but 77-JJ(and QQ-AA I guess) since you say he has standard tag preflop stats, so I'm more worried about MP2, who still only has shown you that he minraises your severly undersized flop bet.

Well MP2 worried me as he limped-called PF and has re-raised the flop under-bet...

SB has shown strength being the initial PF raiser and has now re-raised MP2.....

I am behind 77, 55, 33 , KK, AA, 64......

If i do anything I have to push ???
