What do you think of this line? Should I raise the flop? I was prepared to call down unless he bet big on that ace.

I don't check the flop with an overpair.

I try to get as much $ in postflop as possible... Maybe I suck though

I hate check/call on the flop. If you check you have to raise when he bets.

Now you didn't and I am fine with the check-calling the river. He didn't really make it hard for you though.

Hmm...agreed. Leading the flop would tell me where I stand. If I lead the flop, do you fold to a 2-3xraise?

I didn't reraise preflop because his limp/raise looked like he had a monster and didn't want to merely steal the blinds.

I think you can't ask for a better flop w/ QQ (aside from top set), I think you're good here... no free cards, get money in postflop

Ok, lets pretend I lead the flop with a bet of 300-350. If the villian raises to 700, what do you do next?

Freudian · #9 10-22-2005, 07:33 PM

Any read on villain?

Based on how the hand was played, he probably has KK.

rbear · #10 10-22-2005, 07:35 PM

i push unless i really think villian will LIMP/raise w/ AA or KK
If villain has JJ, just a bad beat. I like getting more $ in preflop, and if not... getting as much $ in postflop as possible.
