What does he have?

[MrMoves]

£100 Freeze at Broadway last night:

I'm UTG with QQ.  Blinds are 50/100.

I raise to 500 to clear out the crap or take it then and there.  Only SB and BB call.

Flop: 2,2,9 rainbow

It's checked to me.  I make it 1,000

SB raises to 2,500.  BB folds.  I don't think he has a two, he's pretty tight.  I don't think he has pocket nines (why scare me off?) - he didn't have either.

What do you put him on? (if you were on my table or watching please don't say)

Not much info to go on, I would guess  ( any suit ), possibly pocket 8's or 7's as 3 way after a decent raise this is a fairly nice flop for 7's and 8's .

I agree completly with Newman.

A9, 77, 88. Then again, if hes a tight and very clever player, he could have AA or KK.

But i doubt it, and you still have to move i think.

two over cards? I tend to make this play when I think I might scare someone off.

KQ AK.

Or a pocket pair...probably a lot lower then yours.

If' I'm holding Q's on this flop I would think I'm still well ahead.

If he's tight, I wouldn't have thought overcards, I'd go for A9 or any pocket pair

[MrMoves]

I put him on one of four hands.  A9, TT, JJ or KK

I figured my QQ would be good 75% of the time and moved all-in for 5500 (3000 more to him).  He called and showed Aces.

This is the first time I've been trapped by disguised pocket aces.  I have done it myself but only when I had a huge stack vrs a smaller stack.  I'm undecided if the flat call of the pre-flop raise so early in a tournament is genius or silly. 

I couldn't help but admire it last night, however.... as a trudged off back to the car park!

9 2 - hoping you have hit the 2, or indeed the 9 and try and push

Pocket Aces, exactly what I thought!

hehe yes, the fact that MrMoves posted it made it almost a certainty that he had AA here, nice read M3!

yep he played them well.

LOL

If you look at the times, he must of just beat me to the post. It wasn't there when I started the reply!

Honest!!

I would of played 9 2 exactly the same way - hit the nuts, make a raise and wait for Mr Moves to push over the top - he is such a fish!!!

Let it go, I say, I let it go!

Looks like he was indeed very clever. I like this play by him.
