5NL QQ Preflop

Posted 8 years agoEdited 8 years ago

Unfortunately I don't have the hand history for this spot but I would love to hear your opinions on it!

Not much info on villains but they seem pretty decent over a short sample

Just a preflop situation:

UTG opens $0.15
MP calls $0.15

CO Fold
BTN Fold
Hero holds QQ in SB & 3bets $0.60
BB Fold
UTG 4bets $1.70
MP calls $1.70
Hero ??????

5bet get it in at these stakes? Call? Fold? I suppose the same questions apply if we were holding AK in this spot?

Just from his line, I would assume MP is a weaker player who likely has a looser than normal range here.

I'd shove. I'm a bit worried about UTG's range but given MP is in the pot as well there's either a ton of extra dead money (if he folds) or money that's in with low equity (if he calls, following my first assumption) it ends up being a decent situation.

Yeh very easy shove with how much money is in the middle, strength of our hand and logic of MP being a fish so that = dead money.

Thanks for responses!

Same for AK?

Would we be ahead a decent chunk of the time? If UTG is tight, I'd imagine his 4betting range vs. a SB 3bet into 2 players is pretty much AA/KK/AK... So we're mostly calling for dead money on the chance we get hold up against AK?

yeppers Smile cuz if you think about it you now have blockers to Aces and Kings and he can have QQ. I think AK is better here in this situation actually because AK has more equity (and blockers) vs KK then QQ.
