    Default 100NL - QQ gets donkbet into

    Villain was about 20/10 and had limp/called vs me 3 times (he folded each time to cbet) in the last two orbits, as well as being 3bet once (he folded pre). It just happened to be his bad luck I had strong cards, but he doesn't know that.

    And this time he donkbets, on such an ugly flop. How to proceed? I could raise and fold to a shove (and if he flat calls, I'm still done?). I could call and hope the pot stays small (and if I do, am I going to keep calling blank turn/river cards?). I could just fold and avoid a marginal situation.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (9 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($122.05)
    SB ($96.50)
    BB ($35.80)
    UTG ($102.85)
    UTG+1 ($118.45)
    Hero ($127.30)
    MP2 ($152.45)
    MP3 ($91.40)
    CO ($31.15)

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q, Q.
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls $1, Hero raises to $5, 5 folds, BB calls $4, UTG+1 calls $4.

    Flop: ($15.50) 4, 7, 3 (3 players)
    BB checks, UTG+1 bets $10, Hero ???

    call. You cant stand to get pushed over, and i dont think a worse hand does it, so play it passivly and perhaps reevaluate to getting it all in on the turn.
    He either thinks you have nothing or has a monster and will tip his hand on the turn

    And how will I tell? Meanwhile as I play passively, every card that falls potentially gives him 2p/a set for real/a straight, and I have no way of knowing as I think there's a good chance he'll 3-barrel with anything from air to nuts after being pushed around so much and given the flop texture, which hits his range way harder than mine.

    i dont think this flop looks very dangerous and your villain could b/c with A7s,55,66,88-TT, so i'd raise to $25, fold to 3 bet and see what's going to happen. Whether i should go pot control or bet for value on the turn depends on what card falls on the table.
