    Default QQ ...OOP

    Ok, no reads here. How do you like to play this? Do you reraise oop? What do you do on the flop?
    Its hard to make a bet on this flop that doesn't scream weak without comitting myself.

    I sometimes re-raise with QQ, depends on the players and stuff, but not in this position to a 5x raise and caller, without any reads at all. I mean, now you put yourself in the situation where you pretty much have to commit yourself if you bet. It's so hard to handle big pots out of position I think.

    But this flop, I'd certainly bet that out, 2/3 pot or something, if one of them flopped a set or is slowplaying KK/AA, too bad. With your big raise their odds for set-chasing were real bad. And I mean they might call you or push with TT, JJ, A9 or something, or just overcards. I see that happen quite often at the tables I play at least... if they were aggressive players I might bet less and hope they'd push with a worse hand... worked well for me at least

    I don't really like to raise oop but I really either wanted to take the pot down now, or get rid of at least one player so I am HU.

    I check/raise, that was an awesome flop for you, don't be a wuss. I think everything changes on how they react to that play, i don't think im folding because a sizeable check/raise is probably going to be AI anyways. Let it ride, what better flop were you looking for?

    I wouldn't mind QQA.

    Either way, I pushed that flop. Villain reraises to shut out the other player and I'm thinking shit hes has AA but really he was just a donk and turned over 64 offsuit.

    I like the flop push. It's like broadcasting in high-def " I have AK please go away".

    What's wrong with raising QQ OOP? I raise from all positions with QQ+.
