Final Pot: t5685

The reraise by villain preflop was the big decision - still fairly early so I was tempted to fold. Had won one big pot when I turned a set against an overpair won another small pot when a short stack raised into my aces preflop.

Had won some other small hands with preflop raises and uncalled CBs. No real reads on villain.

Once the flop brought undercards - I jammed.

I push or fold to his re-raise preflop.
Probably fold at this point, and your stack.

1/3 of the time if he has AK and A/K hits the flop.

A decent amount of times we are drawing to 2 outs now.

unless he's a maniac, I'm going to fold this a large percentage of the time. Blinds are really low, you have a great stack, he just represented a very strong hand and I'll give him credit here.

After the flop though, I'm pushing.

You mean 6?

This is one of those cases where I would look up the villain on pokerdb. I don't really know where QQ stands against a random opponent in this particular situation, so I suppose if the villain has taken down quite a lot of prize money over a lot of tournaments, it's a fold, and if it looks as though he's not that experienced, it's a jam. With DB, you can't really see the whole picture unless you've got the paid version. It's much better than flipping a coin to decide, though.

I think your first mistake was playing the $162 to begin with. It's the one place you can find almost every successful online tournament player on a nightly basis.

I should have had pokerdb open - $296K in winnings for villain (29 FT).

What does the paid version of pokerdb give you that the free one doesn't?

It has number of tournaments played, ROI, and a few other cool pieces of data.

I guess I'm folding this preflop. I'm not very confident in that answer, though. We are obviously up against a very good player.

no, I mean preflop, if villain has AA/KK we are drawing to two outs.
And if we just call, we are hoping no Ace or King falls.

as played, I'd push here too
But I fold preflop

Smells like AA/KK to me. His little raise from EP before the flop screamed that he wanted action. But he could have also done this with a suited connector; you correctly re-raised with what most of the time is the best hand, but I would go to figure that if here were to re-raise AK here, he would do it all-in, rather than to just 900, because that is the type of bet that wants me to re-raise all-in......into either AA or KK.

But if have a little gamble in you, you can still call in hopes to bang a set, with QQ in this scenario: no set, no bet.

But I would fold preflop considering the action. I wouldn't like doing it, but I'd do it.

Move in preflop if you're going to move in on flops like this.

I'm not a huge fan of your preflop raise from the BB to be honest. I'm a lot more likely to move in and pick up the raise from anything but AA or KK.

good luck.
