HOW would you have PLAYED QQ on the button ?

[Sam Odom]

2-3 NL game full table LIVE

Left of the BB raises to 12 (standard raise where I play). Everyone left of him calls.

I'm the dealer and I have QdQs. I have 240.00

So, how would you play it?

[cappinthepigs]

You damn near gotta push it all in. At least 120

[iifold]

make it 70

[Brick]

push

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Raise to 48-70 depend on how many callers

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Nvm i didnt read full table. Id make it 60

[Emily_Haines]

The only thing that would concern me is if the UTG had pocket AA or pocket KK. I try not to overplay pocket QQ but you defiantly have to raise here.

I made an over-pot raise to 100.00 leaving me 140

Got two callers

[JohnAnthony]

Make it at least x2.5 the pot.

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Emily thats why u raise here.
If you get repopeed to 160-240 you fold. A lot less costly that going to the flop and seeing all unders where its harder for you to get away from the hand

Also, with all the calls you know the chances are high most of the Aces or Kings are out if not paired so you have to get the A/rag suited to fold and the Kings with another paint

What good does 60 do? at this point at this point the pot is already 77, raise to 60 and the pot is 137, and you have 6 people in that would need to only call 48 in 137.

With that many people You need to make it alot, like 100 at least. (then they would have to call 88 into 177); other wise the odds to too favorable to call. Then of course you have to know if you can lay them down if you get another re-raise assuming only one other at that point you would feel compelled to call you last 140 into 417? If so may as well go all in.

The table seems excessively loose; you could at this point play the Q's like a mid size pair and call and hope for trips,

[Sam Odom]

The table seems excessively loose

More like a lot of sociable gamblers (squares perhaps) because it was Friday nite, free food special, Lakers gm & Padres on big screen TVs

[jayc88]

you wont get away from that hand.
raise to 90 or 100 and push on the flop

[keyboarding]

I'd call. See a flop. Go from there. You're ideally looking at a race (which isn't ideal really) or are already behind. In either case, sounds like you're a solid enough player to pick a better spot to commit your entire stack.

Hope for a low rainbow flop, anything else and let it go.

So, what happened?

[sharpcat]

Raise 160 and give anybody who wants to call just under 2-1 on their money

Okay, In hindsight I was a 55% favorite <---- Not Bad Considering! I'll take that all the time

The 1st guy to my left had Xh Xc

The next guy had Ad Qh

The flop came Ac Jc 6c Fukk me <---- Now I have a 1% chance (In hindsight)

The guy with XX goes All-In with 80.00 (clubs draw)

The guy with AQ raises to put me all-in

I fold



Epilogue

3 hands later I get AK of diamonds facing a 25.00 raise & a call, I go all-in for 140

I lose to a pair of 8s from the 1st raiser

[poker_dummy101]

shove > call > raise

[poker_dummy101]

You're ideally looking at a race (which isn't ideal really) or are already behind.

A race is good. Alot of dead money in the pot

[DrStale]

I think you played it pretty well. Tough flop.

You got a lot of money into the pot while having the strongest hand and only 2 other players in, hard to be upset with that.

[sharpcat]

Sounds like a few donks, facing a reraise with all of those calls with AQ suited or a small pair is not a good call on their part.

You had them beat can't ever predict pure bad luck.

[Congruency]

shove > call > raise

what?? how is a raise the worst option? a shove is only being called by AA/KK and a call is just getting asked to get beat in a 6 way pot

raise to 70 is the best play, evaluate the flop like you did

[keyboarding]

The guy with XX goes All-In with 80.00 (clubs draw)

Did the clubs hit?

[Sam Odom]

Did the clubs hit?

Oh, I forgot say The Aces held up

[poker_dummy101]

and if the flop comes 742 are you not getting your money all in with qq?

[Sam Odom]

and if the flop comes 742 are you not getting your money all in with qq?

Sure, even if its a call because an AA or KK would have most likely went All In Pre flop over my 100.00 raise

[hoobiwan]

call and raise
QQ is a weak cards preflop

[poker_dummy101]

Sure, even if its a call because an AA or KK would have most likely went All In Pre flop over my 100.00 raise

and if you wouldve folded qq to an all in, why would he reraise all in with something better

[Sam Odom]

and if you wouldve folded qq to an all in, why would he reraise all in with something better

you asked about after a rag flop

I would have NOT folded then


If an ALL IN came pre flop over my 100.00 I would have considered folding strongly

[DrStale]

I want to play this guy heads up.

this is what i was responding to

[Sam Odom]

PD101, sorry I cannot make out what you are saying or trying to ask. But I'm logging off to head out & get my $$$ back

See ya

[Sam Odom]

Finished a 4 hour session today. Won 288. What goes around comes around

[OmgUrMom]

keep it simple, all-in

[OmgUrMom]

If an ALL IN came pre flop over my 100.00 I would have considered folding strongly
