Default Re: QQ vs. A high flop heads - up on the flop

I realize there are some draws he could have, but given the pot size I'm fairly content just to call down, betting if check to probably.

This is probably the plan I would take too.

That ace makes it hard to get a lot of value out of your hand. Which is unfortunate, since QQ is a great hand to have in a blind-steal situation.

Agreed. There is only one overcard to our hand, and we're happy to let villain keep betting a 9. If he checks to us, we can bet happily for value.


As played, I'm reluctant to fold to the turn donk. Villain often would check-raise an A or flush here on the turn. The turn donk may be a "I have a 9 and thought you had an A but that second A makes me think you are less likely to" bet. It is a blind steal situation.

But, then again, not wanting to get into a situation where I want to fold is a reason I don't raise the flop in the first place.
