    Default $100nl KK hand - extracting from lower pps?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    MP1 ($40)
    MP2 ($96.50)
    CO ($15)
    Button ($39)
    Hero ($99.05)
    BB ($271.60)
    UTG ($95)
    UTG+1 ($69.40)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, K. MP1 posts a blind of $1.
    UTG raises to $4, 2 folds, MP2 calls $4, 2 folds, Hero raises to $18, 1 fold, UTG folds, MP2 calls $14.

    Flop: ($42) 5, 5, 4 (2 players)
    Hero bets $29, MP2 calls $29.

    Turn: ($100) 8 (2 players)
    Hero bets $52.05 (All-In), MP2 calls $49.50 (All-In).

    River: ($199) 4 (2 players, 2 all-in)

    Final Pot: $199

    MP2 is unknown. I put MP2's range to be almost exclusively pocket pairs. I bet a bit less on the flop than I normally would so that hopefully more of the pairs would call and a push on the turn would more than likely be called because villain would feel pot committed or whatever. Also, the turn spade doesn't bother me very much in a 3-bet pot especially since I think it's relatively rare that he'll benefit from it.

    Thoughts?

    I think it's good because I feel he shows up with QQ/JJ a lot and unless he's a bad player that's just about all that's in his range really. I guess he could have AsQs/AsKs in his range as well, being more weighted toward AsQs.

    Wouldn't QQ 3-bet on his first action a lot? (not really important, just wondering your opinion)

    Where is QQ against a tight UTG opener's range though?

    To clarify, I'd 3bet QQ here but it'd be more for information than for value a lot of the times.

    You double-posting whore. And ldo.

    With my bet-sizing I wanted to try to drag along more of the TT-66 crowd since I think QQ/JJ come along for the ride a lot here regardless.
