    Default Weird Action Preflop Makes me Fold

    Texas Hold'em $1-$1 NL (Real Money), #88,144,784
    Table Jersey City, 21 Mar 2007 8:37 PM ET

    Seat 3: max682 ($8.50 in chips)
    Seat 5: tirvakkaa ($124.85 in chips)
    Seat 6: N.Nivus ($427.45 in chips)
    Seat 7: Galapogos [ Q, Q] ($115.85 in chips)
    Seat 9: assauer100 ($113.40 in chips)

    Antes/Blinds
    N.Nivus posts blind ($0.50), Galapogos posts blind ($1).

    Pre-Flop
    assauer100 bets $2, max682 folds, tirvakkaa folds, N.Nivus bets $3, Galapogos bets $13, assauer100 bets $22.50, N.Nivus folds, Galapogos folds.


    I realize the fold is weak but it's stupid to play this for set odds. I'm totally lost on what a min-raise then min 4-bet preflop means. Would a better line have been to call and get it all in on a QQ friendly flop?

    No reads. The reason I didn't want to call is because I don't see AK playing like this. So if I get a nice low flop I'm still afraid of AA-KK. So then what?
