QQ-hand.

Some background. I have been at the table for 4 hands. 1st hand I get A K, raise, get 1 caller and I take it down on a rag flop. 2nd hand I folded. 3rd hand I get A A and get 2 callers. I bet a rag flop, 1 calls. I bet a rag turn and fold to a min.re-raise. 4th hand is this hand.

Villian is "tricky" and pretty bad. He is quite aggro post-flop.

Anyone?

Folds?

Does he push with a draw enough times to make this +EV?

I doubt hes doing this with 99-JJ, I can only call this if I think villain is over aggressive.

ug
like how you played it, i'd play it exactly the same
regardless, this situation sucks, i think i'm going to give it up though, i can definately see a bunch of hands you are ahead of, but i lay this down

Should the fact that I have raised pre-flop 3 of my first 4 hands, continue bet every hand I raised, bet again on the turn when there has been a turn, and folded to a turn raise, affect my decision?

normally i dont think it would, it is the party NL$50 afterall. Being that it is your first 4 hands at the table, someone may have taken notice, even so, i just dont think making your decisions based on what other people think about your play is a winning proposition at the Party NL$50. I fold, bitch about it, and move on

I doubt they are paying much attention and even if they are, 4 hands that you have not shown down is not much to go on.

Bleh...If he doesn't have QQ beat and he's making that bet after the strength you've shown, he's a super aggro nut and getting his money will be easy later.

That's what I would be telling myself after I called and lost to his raggy 2 pair. I SUCK at laying down overpairs to aggressive clowns. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Getting better than 2:1, I seriously think about calling against this guy. Flame away.

I can't imagine that the 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] helped him. I think he'd play slower if he had a set. He's probably semi-bluffing with something like A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. You've invested half your stack. I think you have to call.
