Folding QQ preflop

[HauntingTheHoly]

QQ is one of the best hands you can have. Don't be afraid to go all in with them in any situation. Statistics prove they win in the long run by doing this. Even if the board is Ah Kh 2h 8h 3c and you have Qs Qc, just go all in and you'll probably win big.

might as well fold kings and aces too

I think a lot of the answers offer pretty similar advice. In poker general questions like these are near impossible to answer with a simple answer. Poker is a game of situations and without specific examples it's hard to say what is the correct play, IMO.

Example: If your 3rd in Chips on the bubble of a major tournament and the chip leader (nit and his PFR is 5%) just happens to be at your table to your immediate left. Your on the button and UTG Raises all in and MP1 Raises all in when it gets to the Chip Leader in the Cutoff he 4bet shoves all in. Are you calling? I'm going to fold here because I've seen an all-in Raise, an all-in re-raise, and a 4bet shove by the chip leader who is a nit. Your almost NEVER ahead here and QQ's aren't playing that well in a 4way+ pot. You have plenty of chips and plenty of time to get your money in the middle in better situations.

Obviously, the above is an extreme example but it's hard to give advice on such general questions. Basically I'm rarely folding QQ pre, but there are situations in which I would.

+1. Poker is sitautional.
Have folded Aces pre flop in this situation. I was pretty deep on the bubble with the chip leader on my table. He was a luck box chip leader.
The hand I folded, he was all in with K3os vs a medium stack with 10s. Luckbox flopped a boat.
Ended up making the final table.
