    Default QQ in Blind Battle

    The thing that made this a little tricky for me are the stack sizes. Villain is new to table. He did buy-in full so he gets a little more credit than the avg unknown.

    I sometimes will use a weak lead to get the shorties to push but maybe a bad idea here.

    Absolute Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.50/$1
    6 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: $116.50
    UTG+1: $277.90
    CO: $102.45
    Button: $103.32
    HERO: $146
    BB: $198.50

    Pre-flop: (6 players) HERO is SB with Q Q
    4 folds, HERO raises to $3.5, BB calls.

    Flop: 2 9 8 ($7, 2 players)
    HERO bets $3, BB raises to $9, HERO raises to $27, BB raises all-in $195, HERO ???

    Fold. Your flop 3-bet says you have a good hand and he still pushes.

    Absolute lets you buy-in 200 bb deep. I typically start with 100 though.

    Thanks for the replies. I thought it was pretty standard.

    With the possibility he's got a weaker overpair, I thought it was pretty close. They were letting me have it afterward for 'making moves on every hand' cos I'd been running good and not really having to show down. He was new to table so shouldn't have seen all of that.

    Let's not be pimping AP. We don't need better players showing up. The software does REALLY suck and its slow.
