    Default QQ vs. unknown 100NL

    villain is unknown, and its my first orbit. do i just shove turn or what? my thoughts here is that he is holding a 10 10 or JJ a lot here.

    i usually just shove the turn. Definitely shove the river.

    Shove the river?
    To me it looks like you played it pretty well & the river looks like one I would often check behind - is this wrong?
    (I dont see what he calls with that we beat besides JJ or maybe J10 sometimes.)
    Currently thinking of a new quote/signature... Some sort of prayer to the Poker gods for enlightment etc..

    I think I just bet all streets a little stronger. This board is too draw heavy, so I wanna bet stronger here.

    22ish on the flop, 55-60 on turn or just push since there will only be like $30ish behind on river anyhow.

    Either way, I'm stacking here cause his calling range on both streets is reasonably wide i'd imagine, on this kind of board.

    yeah i didn't notice flop betsizing, just bet harder on the flop like 24 unless you're trying to induce a shove.

    Although betting either 24 or 19 is pretty opponent dependant so it could go either way. If he's unknown bet 24, shoving the turn becomes a little less awkward then.
