Just joined the table, 4th hand, no reads.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP2 ($68.30)
CO ($24.45)
Button ($48.50)
SB ($127.30)
BB ($58.60)
UTG ($60.95)
Hero ($51.75)
MP1 ($11.75)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q, Q.
UTG raises to $2, Hero raises to $6, 6 folds, UTG raises to $17, Hero ?

$11 more to call. I have trouble knowing what to do with QQ/JJ in spots like this. Any insight would be helpful.

Without reads this is basically a guessing game.

1) Call and get it in on non A/K high flops
2) Fold
3) Re-raise call

Without reads, you've got to be looking at QQ+ and AK squarely here, occsionaly JJ i guess.

Against a loose player PF/retard i think re-raise call is the best line.

Against a total nit, i think this is probably a fold.

Against someone kind of averagely donkish, i like calling and gettin it in on non A/K high flops.

[Metternich]

with no reads I call and shove any non A/K flop if I get checked into. If he bets the flop hard then I rrai.

Okay so I ended up calling. Flop went check check. Probably a good spot to bet I guess? That aside, how's about the turn?
