Default Re: $11\'s QQ in BB L2 (good fold?)

WTF?!

Push pre-flop.

This shouldn't be a difficult decision with PP's low blind structure.

I'll coinflip all day with chips equal to 1/2 my stack already in the middle.

PS Curtains will eat your soul if you fold this pre-flop.

Ok i missed the PF raise whatever. If you call that raise you have to call the flop raise. If you are ahead when you called the PF raise then you should be ahead post flop folding is very weak here.

Very bad fold. Just push preflop.

$11 donks will call you down with any pair, any ace, two facecards and sometimes with two random cards.

Shove preflop. Even in the 1000-chip tourneys this raise is a shade too large to take the "call and see what flops" approach. Plus, there's piles of dead money in the middle and you have the third best hand in holdem. Also, does 125 look like a likely raise amount for AA/KK? Why would he supersize the raise like that? Not saying it couldn't be, just think it reduces the likelihood further.

To be honest, this is the 1st time I folded QQ. I hate to see QQ b/c I honestly feel that I lose 90%+ when my raise/push is called. With all of the action I thought for sure that at least one of the 3 had AA-KK.

But this is why I posted the question, so thanks for all of the advice. FWIW, I still finished 1st... it just would have happened sooner if I played the QQ hand [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
