    Default QQ IP in reraised 3 way pot 50NL

    No reads, and my notes were possibly inaccurate - based on a small number of showdowns and flops i had seen them take.

    Notes on Villain 2: c-bets almost all flops. Seems to respect reraises. Gives little consideration to position or pot odds.

    Notes on Villain 1: Calls a lot preflop and likes to slowplay sets/straights/flushes.

    Given the Preflop action
    Villain 1's Range: (10-10, J-J, A-K)
    Villain 2's Range: (A-K, Q-Q+)

    This hand was played at Full Tilt.

    Seat 1: Villain 1 ($46.50)

    Seat 4: Hero ($152.40)

    Seat 9: Villain 2($52.05)

    Dealt to Hero: (Qc Qs)

    1 fold
    Villain 2: raises to $2.25
    Villain 1: calls $2.25
    2 folds
    Hero: raises to $7.25
    3 folds
    Villain 2: calls $5
    Villain 1 calls $5

    Flop: 10c 7d 5s

    Villain 2: checks
    Villain 1: checks
    Hero: ?

    My reraise should have shut out small set chasing PP's by greatly reducing their implied odds. I just didn't think there was a flop i was going to like that didn't have a queen on it if i was playing 2 opponents in this pot. Check/fold O.K.?

    In retrospect i should have bumped this to ~$10 preflop.

    $10 is better than $7.25 preflop. Thinking of check/folding here is very bad. Why can't you bet/fold? Bet $14-$18 and then make a decision.

    Given the Preflop action
    Villain 1's Range: (10-10, J-J, A-K)
    Villain 2's Range: (A-K, Q-Q+)
    Solely based on your descriptions of them, you're wrong.

    specifically, what is wrong about the ranges I assigned to villain's 1 + 2?
  4. #4
    Villian 1: Calls a lot preflop = Axs, 22+, sc, sc+1

    Figure that if Villian 2 had AA/KK and there was another caller sandwhiched he'd 4-bet/push over your raise.

    You have to bet about $15 and then evaluate from there.

    I think this is an excellent point. One i should have considered. This would put his range on probably 10's or better, and A-K. More hands in his range that i beat now, making a check a poor play.

    Yeah, i should have bet here, considering that with the good pot odds as well as there still being plently of money behind, villain one could still have made that calling with 7-8s, PP's, etc.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    What do you consider a good flop for Queens then?

    My pleasure.

    Honestly, that's about as good a flop for QQ as they get. Maybe J high to get action from AJ/KJ.
