QQ facing paired K on flop

[mrchevyceleb]

The big note is to not C-bet this flop. The generally good rule is when you have a PP and there's a higher card on the board, i.e. QQ with a King out there or KK with an Ace on the board, do not c-bet. You're over-repping your hand and will often be called by a lot of hands that beat you.

This is why you got so confused on later streets because you had no idea where you stood. So don't cbet the flop, c/c flop, c/c turn and see what happens on the river. But when you play a second pair hand so aggressively you are going to get in trouble a lot. Think about it -- If you have AJ and the flop comes KJ4, are you going to be hammering that hard with your second pair hand?

I don't think this is true all the time and you are giving up a lot of equity if you always check under pairs on the flop. Example you JJ and get 1 caller after raising. Flop comes AcTc2d. Depending on how many draws you put in villains range checking is bad Sure you will get called by pretty much any ace but you will also get called basically any flush draw and possible str8 draws.
