QQ

Does anyone see a cheaper line to take with QQ? I'm thinking I should have folded the flop, but is the flop raise good? He pushed over my flop raise, and I can never get bison bisons working I hate it.

in this spot i like the check-call / lead turn

the reason is that his call of a check-raise doesn't give me enough information as to whether he has TT/JJ/KK/AA

Just saw that my converter questions had been answered...

I think a case can certainly be made for check/folding the flop. This hand is very difficult to play out of position against a reraise. What are his reraising standards? They'd have to be pretty wide for any line to show a profit against them...

Check/calling, leading turn sounds okay, except by my math there would be $80 in the pot on the turn and two streets left where you're OOP. If you lead turn and he smooth calls, what's the plan for the river? Check/fold? Check/call? Push? This is kind of a nasty spot.
