Title: Unsure best line QQ
Post by: Flash92 on June 01, 2013, 05:12:26 PM
Villian is Acoimbra, pokerstars pro. No real reads yet. He is playing something like 28/16 over small sample and seems to be getting involved. How should I proceed, feel like if I 4B I only continue against top of his range, if I flat I can get in some bad spots post flop 3 way.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 8.8 Tournament, 25/50 Blinds (9 handed)

UTG (t2,625)
UTG+1 (t3,419)
MP1 (t6,110)
MP2 (t1,690)
MP3 (t2,883)
CO (t2,560)
Button (t5,400)
Hero (SB) (t3,365)
BB (t3,598)

Hero's M: 44.87

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q(http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/images/smilies/heart.gif), Q(http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/images/smilies/spade.gif)
2 folds, MP1 bets t100, MP2 raises to t250, 3 folds, Hero .....

MP2 is short enough that we can get it in reasonably happily, especially if he's been active. I don't expect him to fold much of his value range other than perhaps AQ and TT, so he's getting in JJ+ and AK, against which we're 47%, not to mention the fact that MP1 raising means he might be losing an A or K as outs. If we flat the pot is small enough that we can manoeuvre effectively but we're marking our hand as pretty strong to cold-call a 3b oop and villains will be able to play fairly easily against our hand. If we 4b to say 600 and MP1 then jams we can likely put MP1 on a range of QQ+/AK against which we're 40%, dropping down quickly to 30% if we take out some of his AK combos which is reasonable, so I would happily 4b here knowing we can stack off vs an aggro brazilian.

Nice post, thank you.
