    Default QQ flops overpair, c/r AI!

    Opponent is 36/0/3 after 35 hands or so. I doubled him up a couple orbits ago when I opened AKs UTG+1 flop came AJ8 w/2 hearts, he checks, i bet $3, he goes AI for another ~$13, I call and he has J8.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG+1 ($45)
    Hero ($50.25)
    MP2 ($68.70)
    MP3 ($52.60)
    CO ($41.10)
    Button ($36)
    SB ($47.75)
    BB ($42.80)
    UTG ($8.40)

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q, Q.
    2 folds, Hero raises to $2, 5 folds, BB calls $1.50.

    Flop: ($4.25) 2, J, T (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $3, BB raises to $40.8, Hero.......

    Default .

    I call here pretty much every time. Hes prob sitting with QJ, KJ, something like that, expecting you to continue bet hence the check raise. Hes got quite a high aggression rating so could possibly be on a flush draw here also. Either way I think you're ahead here too often not to call.

    fold.

    Either he has a strong draw (probably with at least 1 overcard), and you are racing.

    Or he has a two pair/set type hand.

    If he is willing to c/r AI his whole stack with just one pair, then you just made a new friend

    This is definately an ugly spot to be in.

    Do you think he'd reraise TT/JJ OOP? I think JT is his most likely holding, or a big draw. I don't see players like this making this play with AJ. Whenever I call this people seem to show up with funky 2 pair type hands, although on this board it is somewhat more unlikely.

    I guess that makes this a nitty fold..

    You don't lose much by folding, a call is marginal. You are probably marginally ahead or way behind, and you are getting slightly more than 1:1. Probably a good time to fold without a better read.
