No, you can't play QQ this way
SB can have a flush draw, worse pocket pair, or a 4. See a showdown.

I am weak. I will kill myself.

This is bad fold. You give up too easily. 3-bet flop. If you get capped and SB leads turn, you can fold.

This may sound cliche, but to be a winner you've got to cast away your fears. Don't be results oriented too.

It's hard to be not result oriented when you get c/raised with 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Well. That hand was worth a lesson about weakness.

I'll try to calm out.

I play 88 exactly the same way the villian did.

This is right. There are a lot of hands that are played this way, often to get people out.

sure, if you don't like money.

look, you're making this fold because an tight/uber-passive villain made this play... but your read is after 36 hands. in other words: you don't REALLY have a solid enough read to try to make folds like this. plus, it will butcher your table image.

get to showdown.

Ok, I have a question. Because of the fact that I would have folded this hand on the turn unimporved. Should the fact that he c/r from his position be of and substantial concern, because that is what I'm thinking on hand like this. I have read a lot of your replys and would appreciate some comment on this.
