    Default 1/2 - QQ line check

    My first hand at the table vs. 2 weird villains. UTG runs 29/15/5.3 and as his AF suggests, seems to play raise or fold poker post-flop. He'll also do weird stuff like bet really small with the nuts on a drawy board. Button's stats are nitty (17/14/2.3, 3bets 5% from btn) but he's capable of some un-nitty plays, like calling down with AJo on a KJx two-tone, blank turn and river (I had air) and raising J7s utg (and flopping T98 vs. my flatted QQ).

    Anyway, I'm a bit lost pre and on the flop, turn I think is an easy fold.

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (5 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    MP ($217.65)
    Button ($204.40)
    SB ($323)
    Hero (BB) ($200)
    UTG ($197.25)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, Q
    UTG bets $5, 1 fold, Button raises to $18, 1 fold, Hero calls $16, UTG calls $13

    Flop: ($55) 10, 5, 8 (3 players)
    Hero checks, UTG checks, Button bets $34, Hero calls $34, UTG calls $34

    Turn: ($157) 6 (3 players)
    Hero checks, UTG checks, Button bets $152.40 (All-In), Hero folds, 1 fold

    Total pot: $157 | Rake: $3

    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    Very easy fold pre against 5% 3bet over UTG open imo. I would just c/f the flop and think about my stupid call pre.

    Yeah I have no idea how you expect to play this oop without the initiative. I would also just fold pre. I'd never flat anything there fwiw.

    UTG made it 2.5BB? Kinda weird amount for UTG even if it is only 4 handed. I get myself into this spot a lot also. Kinda sucks to fold QQ here. But even if BTN has a higher 3b% its gunna totally suck balls playing this multiway and OOP.
