Ok - so what did I do wrong if anything? The guys told me I gave them the odds to call to possibly flop a set. Is this true?? I guess looking at it my reraise was not large enough ??? looks like BB had 7-1 oods after all. It was fun playing though....

I would open for 8. There was a fair amount of reraising going on.

I had button with KK, SB has QQ

I was BB with QQ and considered raising the flop. Thoughts?

I ceartainly wouldn't fold for 1/4 of the pot. I would probably lead and fold to a reraise, but i feel that you played this too weak.

I figured the re-raiser for AA but a bet from u on flop would have been hard to call as you can have JJ-AA and I beat 2 out 4 of these of these hand, tough AA is unlikely has the other OP has two A already. But once it was checked to me, I figured that you would have the same worries.

yes definitely. If BB called, I would have folded though - despite the even bigger pot. Would that have been wrong????
How do you work out the math in that case? Do I assign a % to JJ and then go from there. I gather AJ is almost impossible for button to have given a raise, reraise. So that leaves JJ as my only problem hand????

66 is your only problem hand. I might just call this and check-call the turn/river.

You min-raised initially which is pretty bad, but I am pretty sick of discussing. Then you re-raise him (min again) which is okay, but it really defines your hand so you have to make him pay for that information. Make it .80 or so. If he likes his hand enough to re-raise you, he will probably still call. If not, you got a nice pot with no risk.

Then on the flop (safest flop imaginable, by the way - do you see why?), you check/fold AA???????????????????????
