Correct play of QQ?

Postby AlamdeaMike » Fri Jul 15, 2005 10:55 am

Hi guys - I appreciate any assistance on this hand.

Setting: Live $200 NLHE, blinds 3,2,2 (4 drop) - 10 players.

Background. I have been playing about 6 hours. At one point I was down $480 and came back up to $940 and was just ready to leave and this hand happened. The table had a mix of solid players, one rock and a few wannabe pros :lol:.

The rock (about 65, very quite) and I had 3 encounters and he won 2 of them. This was our 4th hand together and I was looking forward to getting some of my chips back. :twisted: Not revenge so much is I though that I had a good chance of having a better hand than he had. QQ is the 3rd best starting hand!

Rock $1200
Me $940

I was in the SB and I picked up QQ. My fourth premium pair of the evening. I was pretty happy.

There were 6 limpers which is normal. I made it $20 to go from the sb that screamed premium hand. I got 3 callers including the rock. He did not re-raise me.

The flop was good but disappointing. I really wanted a Q.

[Tc] [9s] [5s]

I lead out with about $60 into $100 pot and as I remember it he raised me $60. I had seen him do this with top pair (A9 w/975 flop - me T8 - missed).

At his point I was not sure what he had. If I had done some serious advanced player thinking I might have thought something like this.

What hand does he think I have? Big pocket pair.

What hand do I think he has? AA,KK, JJ, JQs,TT, 99. (TT or 99 he would not raise. Maybe AT?)

What hands can I beat? AT, JQ, JJ - humm - not many.

Action? What is my play? Call, Re-raise or fold?

Well guys, I reraised and he called, I check called the Turn $75 and we checked the river. The turn and river were total blanks (small off suite cards).

I left for the night with a small loss at about 1:30 AM.

Should I have mucked my QQ for his re-raise? He is a umber rock.

Bonus points for guessing his hand.

What position was the rock in? Did he limp/call preflop or was he the BB?

Sounds to me like KK or AA, maybe 55?

The rock was MP1 and limped preflop. I was in seat 10 and he was in seat 5. BB was seat 1.

Sorry I did not mention that - when I bet the flop the other 2 folded.

Super rocks dont limp AT and then call a $20 reflop raise. You are beat, time to fold.
