Another sit and go Queens

Looks fine to me considering your read. If you can't assume AA or KK, you're anywhere from slight to Very Heavy favorite here. Even solid players will push with AQ from time to time, and that's exactly what you want.

Given your reads, I do not see a problem with this.

This is how it turned out.

even though I have seen the outcome but prior to that you are in position w/ QQ.

You get a raise then a reraise then its to you. Yes you either are all-in or you fold and muck your queens for another hand. I cant fault you for calling this cuase it is a good starting hand but sometimes the lesbians just dont cut it.

Only thing is here is watch for a raise then reraise before it gets to you. Btw you got rivered. So in my fullest opinion you played it fine. Take a day off or an hour off from playing take a fresh mind to it and play your game.

So, Heavy Favorite against one and Very Heavy against the other. Good hand.

You played this perfect, and it sucks to get rivered but what you gonna do.

On a kinda side note that does relate to the topic of pocket queens I stumbled upon this article.

Specically read the part about KK and QQ.

Thanks for the feedback and the link to the article but even though you and others said I played it right the article makes me feel that if I thought a possible AK was against me I should have mucked my queens and stayed alive a while longer to bounce these weaker players.

he actually was on a coinflip against one of them (AK) 99 he totally had dominated. I agree with what you did though

If coolfield had called in front of you, maybe you let him take the guy out or take himself out trying. One of 'em could have AK and fine if you want to wait. I wouldn't, but fine.

However, at the point you went in you were just calling an AI from a guy you had covered, with a hand that was Very Likely to be dominating
