I feel your pain Mr. Hellmuth

I can't think of another time I even considered folding QQ preflop.
Standard?

-MP2 is 17/9/2.2 w/ 3bet% of 4, over ~150 hands and pretty competent and UTG+1 is just and uber donk somewhere around 65/5

- I was even nervous just to call behind thinking UTG+1 might go apeshit and shove causing a cascading effect and making me fold if MP2 isolate shoves
- Coming over the top just seemed donkish since MP2 is repping a narrow range

Should I be playing this purely for set value and fold if no Q comes?

BB checks, UTG+1 bets $0.50, MP2 raises to $7 HERO WANTS TO SHIT A BRICK

is folding QQ preflop really an option here ? I would definitely have called also preflop, not raised.

but MP2 raising on this flop following a preflop raise might indicate 3 possible hands :

flush draw
starting suited connectors like JQ or JT
pocket pair

I'd definitely bet on MP2 having pocket T/pocket J...

No, but it definately crossed my mind

I dont think he's 3-betting 10J and QJ especially from MP

I thought more along the lines of 88+ and AQs+

If it was a flush draw in that range then 10's and J's is the only thing I have decent equity against
