10+1 6 max Bubble QQ omg I was so confused

[karnouk]

How is line?
I was really confused because Blinds were too small for a push and I didnt really want to play a big pot post flop which it happened anyway lol. I was paralyzed because I didnt want to go bust in third. My plan pre flop, was basically to just check, and then to play agressively if all the flop cards were undercards. Thats what I did. Then I faced some resistance.

Opp was fairly LAG, he often bet pot size on flop. Couldnt figure out if his cbets were pot size. He was playing the big stack and bullying a bit.

Eh, I definitely raise this preflop. I'm not afraid to get more chips into the pot with the 3rd best starting hand, in fact I WANT to get more chips in the pot with QQ!

As played, I think flop raise is good (you could raise a little less but meh) and I would shove over on the turn. I think folding is really weak here, sure he could have 6x but there are plenty of other hands that you beat that a LAGG player would play like this.

sinopsycho raises 1570

yeah taipan's way of playing this is >>>> than yours no offense. "and I didnt really want to play a big pot post flop"? If you don't want to play QQ 3 handed in a huge pot I'd fold this preflop, even in the BB.

eheh no offense kmind dont worry, I am here to take advices and as I said, I was really confused in this hand.

3 handed, probably TT+, AJ+ your plan should be to get as much money in the pot as possible.

I don't necessarily disagree, but remember that this is the bubble since this tourney is 6-max.

Thats why I want to play like that. AJ might be a bit low, but any premium hand I want to give myself a good chance of busting an opponent if he calls or reraises with a weaker hand.
