Is this a good laydown?

[Siegmund]

B&M $3/6 this afternoon. Fifteen minutes after a new table opens. No details on the principals involved yet; so far it's usually been four or five people seeing the flop for either one or two bets.

Nine-handed. I am button with QQ.

The action to me is:

Limp, Raise, Reraise, Coldcall 3, Fold, Fold.

What should it be, call, raise, or fold?

At the table I folded. My justification was that I should be up against at least an A-K and another high pocket pair if not two. I have a feeling I might have just been telling myself that to rationalize not making a huge investment in the hand.

Raiser capped it, the four of them saw a small coordinated board like 764. Only the reraiser and coldcaller stayed to the end (3 turn, 9 river, I think it was): reraiser showed pocket jacks and coldcaller mucked.

No.

No, no, no a thousand times no.

Cap preflop. Then the hand plays completely differently.

[Yeknom58]

QQ is 3rd best starting hand..unless the 3 bettor actually showed my AA or KK I'm capping this every time.

[Willluck]

easy cap. and if it was capped to you cc 4

Ha, this is nowhere near as bad as people are making it out to be. You shouldn't have folded though.

I can understand why you saw your QQ shrink against a raise and a re-raise. nonetheless I would haven't folded. Most likely I would have capped but at the very least I would have called if I was afraid of AA/KK

It is that bad. Folding the third best starting hand in the game to a couple of BM raisers is just ridiculously bad. Not only does he probably have the best hand right now, even if he does not he can still make a set. Just a terrible laydown, but then again I would expect you to have sympathy for it since you are, like the OP, probably weak tight (though you think you are aggressive, you are merely a nut peddler).

Matador,

If you have 100K hands of 3-6, I'm willing to bet sight unseen that I have a higher winrate than you. You can combine 2-4 and 3-6 as long as I can do the same and it still stands.

Obviously we would need to pay an independent group to verify this and inspect PokerTracker for cheating and such. You are a lawyer so you tell me how we do this. I'll bet up to 25K, whatever number you like, and we can put the money in the bank with a mutually agreed upon third party and a contract.

Anyways, you are a lawyer, work out the details so they're legit and I'll get a lawyer here to make sure everything's okay.

This should settle more than playing heads up for you, no?
