    Default QQ against a shorty

    Dont know anything about him. Figure he sucks because he's short and he called my preflop overbet (which is why i looove it) but the A is a horrible card and he has no money behind. I figure its best to let him bluff at it because he aint calling an AI without an A or better I assume.

    Absolute Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
    6 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:

    CO: $8.15
    Hero: $38.70

    Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with Q Q
    UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, CO calls, Hero raises to $2, 3 folds, CO calls.

    Flop: A 5 7 ($4.6, 2 players)
    CO checks, Hero checks.

    Turn: 3 ($4.6, 2 players)
    CO checks, Hero checks.

    River: 2 ($4.6, 2 players)
    CO checks, Hero bets $2, CO folds.
    Uncalled bets: $2 returned to Hero.

    Results:
    Final pot: $4.6

    I play the flop the same against a shortie, but I usually bet the turn when checked too.

    Because you have a pair of queens.

    never bet river. Bet turn for value.

    I just push flop if you're not folding to an AI. If you're willing to get all the $$ in on his terms, then be done with the hand on the flop. He may call with a couple of draws or just a pair. Why pay him off if he sucks out on you later on?

    I don't like pushing flop without a read he calls with worse.

    betting the turn could get a call from a draw or worse pair, after you repped a bad flop, or a slowplay. less value to betting the river though.
