    I think it's about time for me to retire to the $25 tables. Some of these idiotic players just urk me!!! Arghhh.

    The next time I got QQ about 10 minutes later I won the blinds fortunately.

    Again, you're playing this really slow.

    At the flop, you should be betting the pot size or more. No way he'd lay down TT to a bet that's just the size of his bet preflop, with an overpair. You probably wouldn't even get AK to fold to that bet, so you're really risking being outdrawn no matter what he has.

    By the time you raised on the turn, he was pot commited. He really didn't play it wrong at all, and to consistently win, you usually have to make people misplay their hand, (chase against pot odds, call big bets when dominated, lay down the best hand, etc.).

    Now, he may have called a big flop bet anyways, but there's no way he can assume he's beat from the way you played it, until you reraised on the turn when he was pot commited.

    Don't have the hand history, but I was beaten w/QQ against AA by THE SAME GUY within about 5 hands of each other(ring game). I went all-in both times over a modest raise and he called, of course.

    For the most part, with QQ I'm not looking to get all-in pre-flop unless they're a total fish or it's 6 max.
