Well, i think u played it fine. The only other hands i could possibly see that agressive is another set, 35 or maybe and i mean maybe a very very poorly played AA!!

[Qh] or a lower set.

i was thinking overpair but i really don't think he has queens.

AQ is the only hand that makes sense for him to hold.

Unless he plays any two suited then you might have a concern with 35s, but that would be a stretch to imagine in most opponents hands given his position.

If he had QQ so be it, if poker wasn't so wonderfully frustrating we wouldn't play, take your lumps with the rest of us

well i was thinking a smaller set

he turned over QQ for top set

i haven't lost a set over a set in some time actually but i thought you couldn't play QQ much worse than that.

oh well

not much you can do about that.

is there any way you can put this guy on QQ? I have been wracking my brain and I don't see anyway I could have avoided this hand, even if he raises pre-flop I think we get the same results

You played it perfectly. If the thought of folding because he might have QQ even crosses your mind then youre playing the wrong game. That would the ultimate weak tight play.

Forget about it and move on to the next hand.

Yup. Be glad he only had $63 and move on.
