    Your loosing, lolololololololololol

    Default QQ vs. ?

    Didn't manage to grab the actual HH. Here's the setup:

    $11 Bodog SnG--blinds are 5/10--everyone has around 1000 in chips

    -I get QQ in SB
    -Villain in EP raises to 45
    -I reraise to 90
    -He calls
    -Flop comes 345 rainbow
    -I bet 120
    -He min raises to 240
    -I push

    Played correctly?

    man thats a tough spot to be in.....

    obviously it's the right move unless opp has AA or KK. I'm just trying to figure out how you can better tell if opp has higher pp. Maybe if you had preflop reraised more than a min-raise you'd have a better idea of where you stood, but I'm not even clear about that....

    The preflop smooth-call of your reraise makes me think AK or smaller pp. The min-raise on the flop makes me think AA or KK, perhaps 99-JJ...

    hmmmm... yeah - I think you have to push there... nh.

    He could have a set or AK as well. AA/KK will normally re-re raise PF when the stakes are that low. Actually I think 99-JJ play like villain as well.

    Can you just call the flop bet??? I mean, you really don't know where you stand. Pushing will find you out the hard way.

    You are either way ahead of an under pair drawing to 2 outs, or you are drawing to 2 outs. A2/56 seem really unlikley so you can't worry about that.

    Given the above, it's unlikely he will call big bets with a weaker hand, and impossible that he folds a stronger hand (unless a 2 comes on turn or river and he has KK/33/44/55). So call, check/call turn and river. Your option to fold to an overbet.

    It's possible he hit a set. Still any pocket pair higher than 5 is likely to bet out here so I don't mind the push.

    I think you should go bigger preflop. At least consider his implied odds of hitting a set w/ a smaller pocket pair when you make your reraise. QQ is not really a monster and certainly shouldn't be slowplayed. So I am reraising at least to 150. W/JJ I wouldn't even reraise at all.
