I have a question, I play .05/.10 NL (10). How do you guys play Queens? In situations like..

1. When 2 or 3 have limped in?
2. When you are in the blinds with several limpers?
3. When you are in early?

I usually try to raise before the flop but it's always so devastating to see that Ace or King hit the flop with 4-5 people seeing it (even with a raise). 8-)

Just had a funny incident with QQ. I'm in early, get dealt QQ. Raise $1. 2 Call.

Flop comes...
J 4 7 .. 2 suited (1 spade, 2 hearts)

So I bet $2. Get called by one guy.

Turn is..
2 of Spades

This guy goes all-in on me.. $1 more to call. So I put him on maybe top pair, and I call.

River is..
9 of Spades

The guy wins with a flush, He had J3s (SPADES). I ask you, why? Why call my raise preflop with J3s? Why me is what i'm wondering. Just earlier today I got wasted by T8, I got KK and raised for $1 again, the guy called. And when we got to showdown he showed a full house with his T8.

Raise/call within reason.

If the stacks are tall. don't lose your ass with it unless you have a set.

Always raise in EP to cut field b/c you don't want a lot of limpers, seems like you already know this.

If on button or in blind and there are a lot of limpers you can either raise big to thin the field and blow your cover (but improve chance of winnng) or limp/min. raise and pray for a set or a very low rainbow flop. If you get low rainbow flop play it strong and take it down.

If overcard comes and there is a lot of action in front of you or a big bet into you - fold.

If you are acting earl, overcard comes AND you showed strength with preflop raise, bet out strong. Force those weak Aces and Kings to fold.

If you are in microlimit and everyone sees the flop there is nothing you can do.
Send lawyers, guns and money - the sh*t has hit the fan!
