Title: The QQ hand. Be gentle. Post by: AlexMartin on April 07, 2007, 04:22:02 AM Live cash game at Luton with an odd assortment of weird and wacky players. A lot of money is flying about due to the arrival of Neel, a wealthy well0dressed businessman. £1/£2 NLHE. You have £450 in front of you. Average stack size is about £400. You are dealt QQ in an unstraddled pot in middle position.
UTG player limps. Player is very unorthodox and makes identical playes with the nuts and very marginal hands. Contrary to popular Lutonian opinion, he can play. Neel now raises to £6 to play. You re-raise to £20 to play. Now loose weak player in late position re-raises to £100 and he is all-in. Action back onto UTG who re-raises all-in and has you covered, Neel Calls. Do you call or pass? Would appreciate proper answers here (Tikay ;nemesis;) as im still unsure. Title: Re: The QQ hand. Be gentle.

Incidentally i had a similar QQ experience this evening in cash, playing about £500 in a 1-2 NLHE game, loon that you are targeting makes it 12, you make it 36 from the SB, he re-pops to 150. I insta passed he showed AA, nice to finally get a QQ laydown right! Title: Re: The QQ hand. Be gentle. Post by: AgentChip109 on April 07, 2007, 12:59:31 PM if it was me, i would probably fold. it feels like AA or KK is out there. i reckon the worst hands that are out there is JJ and AQ. but not knowing these players its hard to tell cos u say they have some moves.
i would fold but i think many others would call. Title: Re: The QQ hand. Be gentle. Post by: temp0r on April 07, 2007, 01:46:16 PM in a 4 way pot you're never that far ahead with QQ, even if you are ahead that is. with only 20 in the pot i fold. you don't want to risk your whole stack on this one with a re-re-raise out there.
Title: Re: The QQ hand. Be gentle. Post by: Royal Flush on April 07, 2007, 01:58:08 PM I don't agree with tempor. but i pass because i think someone has AA.

I think it is a perfectly defensible pass, in any other game except this one! Title: Re: The QQ hand. Be gentle. Post by: Smart Money on April 07, 2007, 09:26:04 PM I wouldn't even consider calling.
You just have to be patient at those types of tables. It's not a tournament. Title: Re: The QQ hand. Be gentle. Post by: RED-DOG on April 07, 2007, 10:02:48 PM Instapush! ;)

Thats what i thought. I reasoned i could find a better spot and my original investment was only £20. Title: Re: The QQ hand. Be gentle. Post by: M3boy on April 07, 2007, 11:37:42 PM You still beating yourself up over that one m8.
Its an easy pass. How are you to know that the highest hand out there was 66 ffs lol See ya Monday - oh and GL on Mansion ;) Will send PM tmrw |
