QQ Pre-Flop Can You Pass?

[GlasgowBandit]

The one part of my game that has been spot on recently is my reads on other players and my ability to put them on a hand.  The one part where I am lacking just now is getting a bit of luck in a race.  I sooooooo wanted to pass the QQ, but I had things going through my mind like what if I have this wrong what is he's not got AA or KK what if we're in a race with AK - then I was thinking about the button if he has any sort of A thats one less out for original re-raiser. 

Geez Peace Mr. "I know Im behind but its suited so Im gonna gamble" and then go on to horribly outdraw them.  Shove immediately as you cant pass a hand and you're running so good you're probably 120% to ping the case Q

 

Its becoming tedious now.  Your the only person at that table and out of everyone else you have told the story too that didn't think that was the right call.

You even missed out a few key facts when telling John the story.

No I didnt, I told it exact, thats not the point though, you've stuck your chips in blatantly knowing you were behind loads of times the last few weeks and you've been running fairly hot with them

Twice,twice against you.  LMAO!!

I tend to always go with my gut in situations like this.  I remember when I played GUKPY Plymouth last year, first big comp I bought in myself for (ie no satellite seat).  And I busted out with KK vs AA in the first level.  I felt sick, not because of the money, but because I knew the guy had aces but I still didn't pass.  I knew preflop and didn't pass, and I knew on the flop, and still thought moving all in was a good option....

A month later, I was playing a £50 stt in my local.  I make it 400 to play with KK, BB makes it 2000 to play...I know he has aces.  I think for ages then pass and show the kings face up, and he shows me AA.  Now why can I make a lay down like that for 50 quid, but not for 1000??  Probably because it stung so much at Plymouth.  It's a good lesson to learn, and I'm sure next time, you might just go with your gut.

You knew because you've played against him before?
