QQ from SB

Hi all,

$10 buy in at Europoker on the SB with QQ. Real loose table with 55% seeing the flop and an average pot of $4.50. Therefore lots of limpers and players calling PF raises.

By the time it comes round to me there has been 1 miniraise and 6 callers (that's $1.80 in the pot including the BB).

My thinking is that a raise is not going to shift enough players for my queens to hold up, so I call the miniraise and join the fray.

I was wondering a bout the general concensus on this - should I have raised????

The flop comes down 578 rainbow. What now?????????????


cheers

Go bonkers preflop and on flop because you're about to double up.

Make it $3, call if minraiser pushes back because his range will be much wider than KK+ in this spot.

If you get callers to your big threebet, you will have around a potsized bet behind, so you can open push almost on any board.

RAISE RAISE RAISE RAISE RAISE RAISE preflop!!!!

You do NOT want to go broke on a low coordinated flop like that with 8 people in the pot. That's why you MUST raise PF.

A raise to $2.50 or $3 should get rid of quite a few players, and then you can be looking to get it in on most flops (hopefully you're HU or 3-way at the most).

I'll agree. RAISE!
You have to get the weak hands out. A pot size raise should force out suited connectors and an ace with a week kicker.
Once you see the flop has no over cards of your Q's, time to take it down!

You absolutely have to raise there. Not only are there way too many people in the pot but you have no idea of where your at. Not good. Raise!!

RR pre to thin out the crap that a flop like that will hit hard. and, then, ON a flop like that either c/r AI or open push. at a 55% table, you have to play QQ like AA, imo, or you will go broke waiting for AA. if they draw out, they draw out. welcome to high variance poker.

You have to raise preflop here.
