more 5 dollar stars DoN's, including some more AQ

[philly and the phanatics]

are these ep flop raises alright?

or on this first one is all of the action preflop enough to justify checking and folding?

[Rage2100]

Hand 1: Qd Qc - Raise to 90 pre-flop instead of limping in. I wouldn't bet that flop with two opponents in the hand.

Hand 2: Qd Ad - I'd just push pre-flop with your stack size.

Hand 3: Qd Ac - I would probably fold pre-flop.
