 Poker Room skin
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
5 players
Seat 6: SB ($107.10 in chips)
Seat 7: BB ($104.70 in chips)
Seat 8: Hero [ QS,QD ] ($94.50 in chips)
Seat 9: MP ($27.75 in chips)
Seat 10: BU ($98.50 in chips)
Converter

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is UTG with Q Q
Hero raises to $4, 3 folds, BB calls.

Flop: 2 3 5 ($8.5, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $6, BB raises to $18, Hero ???

villain was 12/8/2 (60 hands).
I normally play FR, where this against a similar nit 8/4) FR would be a fold most of the time. How do we play this 5-max? call flop and see what villain does on turn? Would we be happy to stack off here?

I reaaally hate these spots. Folding flop seems so weak and I also hate calling flop and folding to a turn bet. I think call flop fold turn is best though as he's likely checking hands like 88 (not sure if he raises on flop though). This hand is really tough if you are OOP.

Against a nit I'm not too happy here. I usually quick-call the raise and see a turn. Usually if he was testing with a weaker overpair he'll check behind the turn and you can comfortably make a smallish value bet on the river, which unless it came A-K, he will call fairly often.

If he bets big on the turn I would just let it go.

I don't like a flop re-raise because it defines your hand very clearly (not good no matter what he has) and gets you dangerously close to pot-committed. And against a guy with those stats, no I'm not happy to stack off. At least not with him leading the betting.

"12/8/2"

I really doubt this villain calls Ax practically ever, especially against an UTG raise.
