Would you agree? Or should I raise less/more?

looks fine, I mean, your hands face-up, but what else can you do?

I was just wondering if the pf raise was adequately sized. I felt it was a little big on the big side.
Also, if I had QQ in this situation, what would have been the most optimal COA?

Assume no reads.

Looks fine. I dont think its particularly face up since there should be quite a wide range we are 3betting here especially since we get the squeezed money if he folds, and Id say anything we 3bet should be to $4+ here. Its enough to prevent set hunting from being profitable aswell.

And now, my chance to sound like a n00b.
What's "face up"?

4-handed it's fine. I'd bet about $1 less HU.

face up, as in the cards are face-up instead of face-down. I.E.- the table can see your cards!!

From your actions you have narrowed down your hand range to just a couple which obviously sucks. I wouldn't raise less though because of stack sizes and preventing set hunting.

Any less and set hunting is profitable as well as Ax may still come along for the ride. Nothing worse than having KK beat by A4s when you raised only to $3.

As for face up, take two Kings out of a deck and put them on your table face up. Now play poker. DUCY

Oh I'm not saying raise less but if it were just you and the PFR I might slowplay here.
