    Default Two QQ hands

    Are these bad or fine? Both villains seem like pretty standard tags, something like 22/15 or so.

    First one is okay, I guess. If I'm going to do this play I'm sticking it all in, your check-raise was too small.

    Second one I don't like. Looking at the action I'd say you're up against AA/KK here a bunch.

    Hand 1: Sun Tzu Reps is a pretty light three bettor, but i think he's pretty good. Meh idk. It's alright.

    Hand 1: I think I could loose a stack here with QQ
    Hand 2: That's AA/KK a lot. I would just evaluate that he gave me set odds and call. You played it correctly repping AA but you only get called by hands that beat you.

    hand 1: really bad. By checkraising here you basically lay your hand face up. So if you want to do it (and you probably should a good % of the time) just stick it in and put him to a tough decision with heart and str8 draws on board.

    hand 2: also really bad. call here preflop and play semi-cautious postflop as i dont remember ever seeing this player min 4bet in the times i have played him.

    again your bet allows him to play perfectly- so perfectly in fact that he will probably fold AK here preflop, leaving you on an almost negative freeroll where you only get called as a 4 t0 1 dog, which is about half of his range imo. ugly.
    I got more flava than fruitstripe gum
