Funny Bonch.....villain was only playing about 14% (Poker Tracker) of hands and not raising when he came in to a pot. So knowing this do you lay it down also?

I don't like raising UTG with Queens. QQ to me, is just as bad as 99. I'd limp in from that position.

nice laydown though.

not exactly. you were not utg. AND.......utg, utg+1 both limped making your hand quite different.

good fold on your part though too.

Oh you decided to give us actual information this time? Well that's a good start. You need to include this with your OP.

Funny joke.

99 should be raised too.

Touche.
And Bonch, you would raise 99 UTG?

Interesting Scottie. So you are playing your Queens like a mid pr. I think that me be too passive. I am most likely getting called by 1 or 2 people here (or may be taking the pot down right now) and may be able to outplay them post flop if an A or K hits the board. If I am re-raised...it depends on my read and the amt of the re-raise. Here I felt strongly that I was behind and got away from it, but against another opponent i may have called.

The reason I posted was because I was wondering if a call was technically still the correct play.
