I felt like I was playing these queens wrong.
First game moving up into the $10's from the $5's and I felt like I was playing 'em too strong this early for some reason, although I probably wouldn't have thought twice about the way I played this at the $5 level, regardless of results. Any input?

Re: I felt like I was playing these queens wrong.
I like the play. I sometimes limp from early position but if I dont this is how I would play it.

At the 10s, I'd raise to 90 and then push when he re-raises.
When you raise to 400+, you are pretty much committed anyway. All in all, not bad. You certainly didn't play them too strong IMO. |

Don't want to color my judgement so I haven't looked at your results.
I don't know how to play deep stacks on UB, but I push that flop heads up with such large preflop raising. If he has AA KK or AsKs, then so be it. But there is no way in heaven I let AT or TT see a card without paying dearly. |

[/ QUOTE ] Do you have a problem with the initial 3.5 BB raise, or just the nearly double pot-sized reraise as opposed to the push (I thought I was making him pay dearly -- don't I want A10/1010 calling huge bets here?)? |

Re: I felt like I was playing these queens wrong.
I like your play. If the dreaded overcards show up on the flop, you've still got plenty of chips left when you have to bail.
