QQ first hand...

[dmk]

first hand of $50+5 on stars.

i open from the button for 60 w/ QQ, BB calls.

flop AQ3, 2 clubs. check, 80, call.
turn 2. check, bet 180, call.
river 5c. villian bets 620, hero...?

People will say call but your pot odds are terrible and I cant see him bluffing here, except with some gutshot, the only thing you beat aces up and does he bets like this 45%(or whatever the pot is laying you) of the time?I dont think so, again, people will say call, but unless this is a rebuy tournament or he is a known lag you can fold here

Can't see myself not calling this, but personally I think you take this down on the flop or the turn, or at least kill the drawing odds.

Its unlikely he's on a flush draw, and maybe better players just decide to assume that if he is and he makes it, they're out, or will lay this down, but I come over on him at least on the turn here and make him pay for the draw, or accelerate my loss to AA.

I might be off on this strategy though, and not getting enough out of my made hands due to scary draws is one of the things i'm trying to work on.
