QQ 600 NL

xorbie · #1 08-11-2005, 06:29 PM

I've been opening I think every single orbit I've been at the table when it was folded to me on the button (about 5 orbits now I guess), and taken it down every time on the flop. In general I've shown down good hands when I've raised though (AQs, TT). SB in this hand is a douche, calls a lot and minbets a ton with a variety of mediocre holdings. BB has been calling my raises every time and folding the flop every time.

Once I'm re-raised, what's a good line to take? My 3-bet by the way was a complete accident, the screen just popped up. He took a long time to call it, for what it's worth.

Is this some kind of joke post?

He's got 100 left and the pot is 250ish...
Things to think about...would AA or KK raise so much preflop on a likely steal and not push on a raise that pot commits him (and you).

When he re-raised 25% of his stack before the flop what did you think was going to happen? He's looking to get the rest of his money in against you. You said you've been making this move everytime it's folded to you on the button so he is likely playing back at you with TT-AA, AK/AQ. QQ is golden against that range so put him in pre-flop.

As the action turned out it's obviously a call on the flop ... it was only a 1/2 pot bet and no overcards came, but I don't think you were asking about that.

i dont know what the hell is going on here, but you onlyu have two options on the flop, and one of them is absolutely ridiculous.

I think if he had AA or KK he would have probably raised again PF, and failing that, would often check that flop since it isn't scary.

He'll show you 99/TT/JJ more than you'll see KK or AA here. I'd call.

In my experience of about 30000 hands in this game, short stacks are horrible . I would have either moved all-in preflop or I put him all-in on the flop. I instacall. 22-JJ is his range if he is a normal short stack (most push preflop with KK or AA). If he has quad 88's those are the breaks.

I would fold to the $66 reraise...some might call that weaktight but I call you raising there overplaying your QQ. This exact situation happened to me twice 6-man 2/4 stars and I got stacked off both times cuz I donk called on safe flops. He has AA, KK...fold and be done with it

mythrilfox · #8 08-11-2005, 07:52 PM

this is one of the easiest calls I've ever seen, and I would have just went ahead and put him in preflop. He will probably call with a pair and you'd hate to see an ace or king flop and face a big bet.

thats not an accidental three bet amount sir

only way you could have played this hand worse was folding the flop

say you did and make my day

Raise all-in preflop. Not very close.

You are clearly not asking us what you should do on the flop. I mean, jfc?
