Preflop $215 hand-QQ

[Nick B.]

Level 1, 10 handed $200+15

2 folds and I raise to 45 with QQ, next cold calls, 1 fold and the next player raises to 90. I check pokertracker and I only have 1 game with this player. In the first two levels they have only raised AA, but isn't that relevant since I only have 20 hands. Another cold call and a fold. Now the button moves all in for 195 and it is folded back to me.

So to recap the action it is 45, 45, 90, 90, 195-> back to me. What would be your plan of action here? I had 970 to start the hand and the rest of the stacks are right around 1000.

Throw up and then repush...Button's range is huge and the min reraise with that many callers is probably something like JJ or 1010 possibly AK. Other option that might be better actually is just call. If it's repushed behind then you can probably fold. If its just called behind push any good looking flop. Yeh that sounds better I think

It sounds like I'd just fold.

Firstly, how many games are you playing so that you can check PT on all big decisions? How many monitors?

Next, I'd see how large he raised AA to in the past, as a small reraise like that is strange.

Either way, if he's tight, a reraise is AK or JJ+. He probably folds JJ and AK to your push. There's some math involve here, but it looks like a fold at first glance.

I fold here too. Reraiser (min at that wtf mate?) and a cold call behind you means that you're just tossing away 140 chips when you get squeezed.

I agree that button has a wide range here, but there are too many others still in the pot to do anything but fold.

OOPS didn't see the cold call...thats a bit upsetting...I might lean towards fold but at the 109's I see this kind of stuff with garbage all the time...might be a lot diff at the 215's

[Nick B.]

I really don't have the right answer. What I did was call cause I was pretty sure that the raiser to 90 wouldn't push without AA or KK.

I don't think pushing here would be correct because I think I will get played with a lot here and be in bad shape. Either of the two cold calls could also be AA and the second raiser is likely to have it.

I think folding is a very good option also. Being out of position in a 5 handed pot would not be fun. The only problem is that the pot is starting to swell and I have a premium hand.

I posted this because I really didn't know what to do. I think the cold call all in also cemented my decision to fold.
Here is the hand:
