    Default Was I retarded all the way with QQ here?

    Villain was running 17/12/1 and folded SB to steal 82% of the time over 124 hands. I don't think i could've played this hand worse if i tried. Comments?

    No IQ poker 0.25/0.50

    Button Hero ($47.50)
    SB SB ($59.30)
    BB ($53.25)
    UTG ($48.70)
    UTG+1 ($11.50)
    CO ($7.50)

    Preflop: Hero is on the Button with QsQd
    3 folds, Hero raises to 2.00, SB raises to 8.00, 1 fold, Hero calls 6.00.

    Flop (16.75) 4d5h3s
    SB bets 12.00, hero folds

    Why are you calling preflop to do this?
    Raise flop, call shove.

    If you're calling to set-mine then u are probably better just mucking PF to the 3-bet. Depends massively on your image and villains 3-bet tendencies, but if u are folding that flop u are giving him credit for AA or KK, right? If that's the case, ask urself this question: Would u call his 3-bet with 22-99?

    As played i'd probably call flop, call or shove turn. You'll valuetown urself against this type of player occasionally, but at least this way u allow him to feel comitted with lower PP's. I don't think this type of player is ever betting that flop with AK tho...

    Yeah if he's so tight you don't want to play for stacks on this flop then just fold preflop because he's not giving you set odds. This is an awesome board to get in on because you're also getting called by AK and maybe a random other A if he's was trying to defend loosely.

    getting my swell on
    i would just jam the flop. calling to fold the turn seems kind of silly.
