    Default Why does QQ suck so bad?

    I'm just wondering in general in this spot. When opp is reasonable in reraising, his range pre is anywhere from AK, JJ+ to AQ+, TT+. Obviously the turn is a fold this is just in general.

    I C/R shove flop most of the time. As played turn is an easy fold. 4 betting can be ok too against a light 3bettor as QQ plays kinda bad OOP.

    If he is a really tight (passive) 3bettor you can raise to 32 and fold to a shove also

    at 100 NL a shove on the flop is pretty bad. Also, most likely his range is AK and JJ+ from teh big blind and you being an EP raisor.

    If he is TAG, this is fine.

    If he is LAG, I 4bet to ~34 and call a shove
