I call. Lots of donks at 55. [/ QUOTE ] I agree. Also, usually AA or KK is gonna play this a little slower. You'll see them sometimes though. |

Re: QQ first hand 55s
I encounter these situations quite often and I used to call every time until I realized it was a leak. I'm sure a call is +EV but sometimes you should forego a +EV situation for higher +EV situations in the future.

Re: QQ first hand 55s
not familiar w/ your personal style... but will you push Ax from button (obviously +EV w/ image) and fold this preflop... too many donks 55 and lower, insta-call imo. specific reasons why you think this is a leak?

[/ QUOTE ] What do you mean will I push Ax from the button and fold this preflop? Why is this a leak? Let's say instead of QQ, you have JJ. Would you call a push? Your answer should be "no" and your reasoning should be similar to mine when I have QQ. |

Re: QQ first hand 55s
do i fold JJ prefold, yes...
do i fold QQ prefold, no... why? because only hands that dominate me preflop are KK and AA, and I have a really hard time puttin villian on this... AK is possible, but I think I have enough of an edge here to make this +ev... all other hands I dominate w/ JJ adds another dominating hand, and another flip i guess it depends on your individual goals, but i exploit this edge |

Re: QQ first hand 55s
JJ adds two other flips, AQ and KQ.
I would generally call here, by the way. |
