($55) QQ - Overpair

[otctrader]

Preflop fine, if he's not tagged as an aggro donkey he's got a pretty narrow range here. In the 800 chip tourneys I'll often come over the top OOP so you don't get outplayed by some monkey with ace rag.

Flop as played I'm probably dropping this without reads. I prefer check/calling his inevitable c-bet; yeah you may be giving him a free shot at a 6 outer, but this prevents you from getting raised off the best hand on the flop, and a third heart may get him to slow down giving you the cheap showdown you want versus a potentially dominating pair.

Oh and if you insist on betting the flop into him, make it closer to PSB, 250 or something. At least he'll think for a few seconds before minraising.
