folding QQ preflop?

[turnipmonster]

cryptic? I thought he was pretty clear.

I translated Jason’s comment as “Your thought processes on this hand should be weighing the merits of fold vs. call, with a bias toward fold. And if they are not, then you need to get smarter if you want to be successful in the 10-20 game”

I was more leaning towards the fact that in this game you should be reraising preflop a lot.

That's how I interpreted it. But I think the diverse exegetical approaches employed by posters here affirms my charge of crypticness.

why don't you guys call and take a flop? We could be up against AK here a lot of the time

Problem is if your opponents range is AA KK AK, its gonna be really hard to play against him OOP.

PS: People dont reraise here with AK as often as you think.

I'm coming from Low-Mid stakes, where ppl still go nuts with AK, so that was my line of thinking with that. Could we just call and check/fold a non Q flop? I'm also beginning to realize the importance of position with situations like this

my default play here with these stacks is fold. You basically have to call 10% of what you could win.

Basically, if i'm much better than raiser i may call. If i know ill stack him if i hit and he has big pair, yet also not get pushed off my hand by his slick if he misses, then i may give it a whirl. If he's very good, i'll fold even if its a bit deeper.
