QQ Strategy on Dry Rainbow Flop

First of all, I never fold KK pre-flop unless it's so obvious the dude has Aces and I'm forced to put up my stack. With that being said, I will call, but mostly re-raise with QQ. In the past few sessions, I've gotten QQ a lot and a lot of times I've ran into KK or AA. Could be bad luck, could be questionable reads... but we're online here so tells are minimal.

At any rate, when I get QQ, I will typically raise or re-raise and get a caller, but rarely get a re-raise. If I'm facing a 3bet or 4bet pre-flop, or a pre-flop push to my raise, I'm questioning Kings or Aces here, and possibly AK. But, when I just get a call on a board of say 2-5-9 rainbow, why is it every time I c-bet here I'm facing a re-raise for all my chips?

I guess what I'm wanting to discuss here is what do YOU do with QQ when playing against calling stations holding Aces or Kings? I feel I'm playing these types of hands correctly, given the circumstances, but I could be wrong.

Oh, and I play 50NL.

if i think villain has a better hand than me preflop, i'm looking for implied odds. if those aren't there - fold.

you're just running into a cooler if this is happening a lot.

I figured as much, but when it happens a lot I begin to question my play. Thing is, my raises are getting called and NEVER re-raised pre-flop lately with QQ. I got stacked once due to a villain hitting a set on the turn, but shit happens. I'm chalking it up to variance because I have been running bad as of late. I'm down about 6 buy-ins over the past few sessions and this QQ crap has been pissing me off. But my roll is still over $3K so I'm cool there. I probably should be playing $100NL, but I value my balls (reference to spoonitnow post ). :cool:

its difficult not to stack off with QQ on 222 flop when passive donks just flat call your raise with KK+. :x There are many times you've got to proceed with cautions after they min 3 bet preflop. :wink:

Gotta love the bitches. QQ and JJ are great hands, but they're high variance. You can win big with them, but it's easy to lose half a stack or more.

You would think at 50NL that you wouldn't see much of that but I keep getting surprised. :roll:

It's funny because every time I look down in a live game and have JJ, I'm pumped because I always win with it. Online, however, is a whole different story. :wink:

In another thread, a player was pushing HARD with Big Slick trying to get the QQ to fold. There are only two hands that have you and only one (A-K) that may fake it. You have to exploit the faker. Re-raise if you can't put him on Kings or Aces. :cool:

6max im getting it in with AK and QQ all day because people are soooo agro with stuff lower like TT and j10!!

Probably should use odds... But I have no idea how to figure that stuff out.
