Default Re: Very odd QQ spot

IMO I think calling is the worst option...putting in nearly 25% of my stack preflop is pretty bad business, I think, because the size of the pot won't really allow for any play postflop except push or fold. So its push now or fold now, I think?

Which is worse business: call getting 4-1, or putting in 90% of your stack with QQ against most likely AA/KK?

I don't want to call either but someone limp raising an 8BB bet behind them to 20BB is almost always AA/KK, so I wouldn't push.

But you are getting 4-1 on the button with QQ, so folding is tough.

If my only options are push or fold, I would definitely fold.

I think folding and pushing are wrong. Wasn't the raise only 26 to call that big a pot? You hit that queen you stack against the aces (well unless an ace hit). So you're getting over 10-1 odds here. (28 to call but if you hit you win over 280) Nobody behind you is going to come over the top.

I saw someone limp AA after six people limped into the pot just a few days ago. Yeah, I wouldn't have expected that either but it happened (he ended up stacking in a top set over middle set situation).
