I don't hesitate to take KK or AA heads up All-in PF but I am much more cautious with QQ. Should I be? Whats your opinion. Do you take it HU All-in or would you fold here. I generaly take it HU against short stacks and that has definetly worked out so far...I just don't like to risk my whole stack on it. Your move?

Easy fold. The fact that he raised, got re-raised and then pushed is usually enough to put someone on AA/KK.

Do a stronger raise than minraising, you get more information that way and you represent a stronger hand. At this level though, I wouldn't be surprised if they turned up AK

Because of the level where you were at, I call. Too many people do this with smaller pocket pairs hoping for a coinflip and too many people do this with AQs or something like that. Call.

ill presonally call if its less than 25BB raise.

I'd be happy with this laydown without reads at 50NL, but even then I see people go in with smaller PPs, and AK like this all the time. At 10NL if you don't have reads, I think it's an +EV move to call.

Especially since you min-raised him, as outphase said you're not repping a strong hand, so he can donk his way in with tons of stuff.

Hell if I know Greedoo. I have been stumped by the amounts at PS for a while. Like when I am raising someone and I want to put them all in…if I bet the exact amount of $ that they show at the table then they will always be left with some $ if they call. I don’t know why. To counter that I have gotten in the habit of overbetting what they show by $2. If I only overbet by $1 they the sometimes have money left. I don’t understand it either. Anyone know?

Two people have mentioned that I minraised, yet my raise was double his. I thought double his raise was anything but a minraise. Am I wrong? What size should my raise be such that it won't be a min raise? Another way to say it is...what should my raise have been?

Technically I think a min raise would've been another .45, making it an even $1 instead of $1.10, but it's effectively a min raise. (A raise has to be at least the amount of the last raise).

Generally 3-4x the original raise is a good starting place. So if someone raises 4xBB preflop, and you want to reraise with QQ-AA (or any hand), make it at least 12xBB to go.

well, since you posted it here, he probably had AA/KK heh

the play is so mindless at .05/.10 that I'm calling this all day.

3-4x is a huge amount to raise. if somebody makes a $4 bet in 100nl and i take it to $12-16, im not getting many calls from hands that arent in good shape. 2.5x is the standard hu re-raise.
