Full Version: Flop Spot With Qq

Hi all,
this is from my home cash game. The stakes are low but the players are taking this VERY serious nontheless.

The game has been going on for about three hours and it is safe to say that I am probably the player with the most knowledge at this table.
I am still a donk, that's for sure but at this table I excell :-)

There is a decent amount of preflop raising and occasionally threebetting, which is odd, as normally most pots are multiway limped in this game.

Effective stacks are 250 Big Blinds.

Hero is dealt qs.gif qh.gif in mid position and opens to 5 BB

The button
(who I think is the 2nd best player) reraises it to 15 BB
(small blind and big blind fold)

Hero reraises to 50

Button calls.


Flop (100ish BB)

Hero?

(FWIW I think villains reraising range here is 99+ AK, AQ, AJ and KQ)



How would you play the following hands from here?
QQ
AK
KK
AA
AQ

From villains position, are you folding anything else than 99 to a shove on this flop?

This really sucks and I have 0 idea what to do

I'd c/f the flop. Your hand doesn't play well oop on this board against villain's range. Your implied odds are horrible here. Let's say you improve on the turn, well the same card that improves your hand could give villain a better one. For example, if the 9c comes on the turn, you'd have a straight, but villain might have a flush, or a draw to the flush. Or he could have a hand like AcJx, and have the higher straight with a redraw to the nut flush. That's just one example.

sick flop, you're hoping to be up against what? aj or 88/99. That's it for what you're ahead of imo.

meh, I hate to check fold, I hate to bet, give us more information first


what kind of hands was button showing up with? you think he's the 2nd best player at the table, tell us why then we'll decide on this puke-tastic scenario
MikeBauer26
Are we shoving with ak or aa here?

now what's his reraise / calling range. you gave us one for reraising, but if i'm reading correctly you 4bet him and he flat called. his range just changed.

this is literally the worst board you can possibly have hit / hoped for, and it's easy to be drawing to 3 outs or less (KcQc / AQ has you drawing virtually dead for example)

i have no idea what to do here, check and i think he's betting almost any two cards here, bet and you're almost always getting called or raised.

Unfortunately i can't provide the solvation here.

I had a moment of madness and shoved.

My friend tanked for a while and finally folded, despite getting 1.67 to 1.

He never told me what he folded and in turn didnt get to see my hand :-I
