I think the line from queens man would have merit HU in a raised pot against an aggressive oppo. If aggressive button man raises and sb queens man flats pre and then leads into raiser then ok.
In this example however he limps with his queens and then bets 3/4 pot when the chances his oppo has a queen, a set, or 2 pair, are extremely slim. Yes, he has disguised his hand but the bb needs something to remain interested in defending this small pot, and most of the time he wont. Imagine all the times he limps with queens and A's and K's hit the flop. Even in this hand if he doesn't flop the set we stack him with the three 4's, so it's very risky business, and I don't think turning the nuts into a bluff really compensates him enough of the time for that to make sense. Especially because the 2 cards in his hand take away many of his oppo's potential calling hands.
agreed..but you have to remember that the oppo is Ironside.
