    Either allin or fold. If he's a solid player he'd play this with AA/KK to look like a maniac and get calls. If he's fish he could have anything, including AA/KK. Fold seems the best option with no further info.

    i know for a fact he's a solid player. So fold then.

    If he's a solid player i bet he's going for the maniac call.

    Fold like a cheap sheet. Why would a solid player do that without a hand that he could call a hefty re-raise with?

    For some time now I have pondered the value of QQ in all in situation pre-flop in cash games.

    I have come to the same conclusion as everyone else, If he has AA/KK your 6/1..

    If he also has QQ it's a split. His 4th most likley holding is AK which is nearly even money, so to me it seems like a loosing play to play for stacks with QQ.

    Unless of course he's a maniac and capable of moving in with JJ/1010/99 shiz like that..Then I might give the call some thought.
    Currently Playing 8 Tables of 25NL 10-Max.
    Or
    2 Tables of 100NL 10-Max

    Current Bankroll: $625

    Goal: To stop pulling $$$ out of my bankroll and build it up to 1k.

    Nobody thinks that this might be a typo resulting from multitabling? :P

    But I fold painfully here.

    In a live game, I've seen a player who would make a disproportionately large raise like this with TT-77 because he just hated to play the flop. But I've never seen this online.

    Based on your stack size and the relative size of the bet, you are either all in or have to fold. I am leaning toward the fold because you said your opp is TAgg and you won't be able to outplay him post flop with your stack.
