It sucks having to lay down TT-QQ, and especially QQ (not sure I ever have folded QQ but I know I should have....) but yes - insta-fold.

[drmcboy]

ooof. Yep, must fold.

Jacks tend to get me in trouble...

Stop being so quick on posting what happen this thread only had 10 peeks.

Fold

[Staresy]

UTG Raise and a re-raise, yeah I think I am (begrudgingly) laying this down. It might (and I repeat, might) depend on reads. If MP was the kind of retard who re-raises with middle pp's (and, lets face it, we've all seen it done), I might push over the top. But I would have to have one solid lock of a read.

Sorry to thread-jack a little here, but what are people's play if hero holds QQ here?

After a few choice words to myself I would lay this down you are AT BEST 50/50 and most likely a 4 to 1 dog against the re-raiser.

Sorry to thread-jack a little here, but what are people's play if hero holds QQ here?

I think I still lay this down. If you hold Q's that limits what the re-raiser has to (most likely) A's, K's, AKs and sometimes AKo. The only thing that may sway me is if villian has been reckless throughout the tourney. In that case I may push and hope for the best.

JJ is easy to fold. QQ is little tougher, but still a fold. Too early to flip here or hope you're dominating. Even if the reraiser doesn't have you beat, the original raiser might.

[Khabbi]

It's an easy lay-down for me, same with QQ. With that many players already in a large pot, you know there is at least one A or K out there, so you can get outdrawn. There might even be 3 live overcards for you to go up against.

I'm getting outta there and fighting the next hand.

I fold this too, and then watch the Jack come on the flop

[konahead]

I have a really hard time w QQ, and would probably just push hoping both opps have AK. if not - nh, gg - and fire up a new one...

I have yet to lay down QQ preflop, although I know its a leak. Fortunately, I don't get QQ and run into big re-re-raises often enough to make it really -EV. And many times if only one opp, he flips over JJ/TT.

[Khabbi]

I've laid down QQ in a situation exactly like this one... I would have been up against AA and KK.
