    Default QQ lots of action preflop

    Every single one of these players are playing around 21/17 and seem to be regs/competent. The UTG guy is a huge fish spewing off his money which is why I stayed at the table. The SB 3bets 7.0% of the time with ALL of them being in the SB over 114 hands so small sample though. BB 3bets 0% of the time. I wasn't really sure if I should be scared or trying to trap with a monster or what.

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (5 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Hero (MP) ($54.55)
    Button ($72.55)
    SB ($57.40)
    BB ($105.65)
    UTG ($57.85)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with Q, Q
    1 fold, Hero raises to $1.75, Button calls $1.75, SB raises to $8.50, BB calls $8, Hero raises to $54.55 (All-In)

    well obviously your way ahead of sbs 3 betting range though im definitely worried about what the bb has, as if hes competent he knows your likely to 4 bet fairly lightly here against sbs frequent 3 betting from this position. However you cant put him on aa and kk all the time so I cant see any option other than to 4 bet get/it in.

    I'm torn between this and $26; I don't think either is bad so long as you've shown a propensity towards flinging poo (which I'm sure you have at some point over 114 hands)

    Hugely standard, you can push or you can 4 bet small and get it in.
    Flopping quads and boats like its my job

    SB - its a squeeze, so squeeze % more relevant here, but either way prolly too small sample size

    BB - i think 4bet % is what matters here or call 3bet %...


    I play it the same though.

    Would you spike the Q on the river to pwn AA, too? Just wondering.

    I do not think going all in preflop their makes any sense. Instead maybe reraise once more and get it down to just 3 or 2 players and see how the flop comes. If its a favorable one for you then you wanna raise big or go all in

    You have to take in account of ranges/stack sizes/etc. because I don't understand this at all.

    I can assure you that there is about no one that thinks like this at 50nl

    Pushing instead of 4b/get it in is probably bad for balance purposes. If you're ever 4betting light at 50NL are you going to want to push?
  14. #14
    ^^^ I don't think balance is really an issue here given the action. 4 bet bluffing in this spot would be pretty insane.
    There's only one system. Bet. Lose. Borrow. Steal. Lose. Take the drugs. Lose. Prison. Death.

    i get what para is saying, it's pretty simple yah? If you're ever going to 4bet bluff in this spot, then you won't be shoving. So when you have a real hand like QQ, play it like a 4bet bluff except call the shove.

    count-n mah monies stewie-style
    4 bet bluffing isnt really necessary @ 50nl imo. usually a cold call in the blinds to a 3b is a high pp QQ+

    so if u were to 4bet bluff in this spot, you would make it >25$ then fold to a shove, ya?

    cool

    With reads given this is a shove

    With no reads this is a shove anyway

    Actually i don't think flatting is a bad play if you have some postflop reads on these guys.
