    Default Pocket Qs

    I played about 40 hands at this table. 3-4 players usually see the flop and rarely raise it PF.

    I would've reraised it PF if the table was playing differently and this wasn't the pocket pair that I've lost the most with. The player that raised it PF hasn't raised a hand since I've been at the table.

    Without thinking of the results should I have reraised it PF? Called the all in? Done anything else differently?

    Well I would say you should reraise PF most of the time, unless you believe your opponent has AA/KK - pretty hard to put someone specifically on one of those 2 hands but if you do then your playing for a set.

    On that flop you are losing to AA/KK/JJ/TT so a fold was correct.

    dude, this is so passive it hurts. this is like the worst possible play to smooth call this pf. you must understand:

    AA and KK beat your hand, thats it.

    if 10ppl @ table, chances that someone has AA or KK = 1/11

    therfore, raise, especially when there are 3ppl in the pot already, jack this up to a doller preflop.

    and if the flop = AKTsuited, and ppl bet, let go.
    I get more ass than a toilet seat. All shapes/colors/sizes.

    yea exactly, this is more or less what i would have said.. PF u need to re-raise.. QQ KK AA, are all re-raising hands PF.. if the guy who initial raised PF comes over the top or re-raises back.. thats when u start thinking whether ur hand is good or not.

    i would of raised b/c then you would've known where you were at. if someone raised with KQ and the board came K - -, you are still beat. QQs are not the best hand to just call.

    Everyone so far is dead on. At these kinds of limits the amount of suck-outs and everything else will really burn you. In a MTT, a 5x BB PF raise such as the one here is huge. But play .02/.04 games it doesn't mean shit. What's another .20 for some of these players? You have to hike it up big time.

    You guys might look at it like a strong hand, only thing I think when it gets dealt to me is "I'm gonna lose alot of money or win a small pot". The only reason I didn't reraise it PF is how passive this table was playing. I knew at best I was looking at a coinflip with this PF raiser. I'd rather have pocket 2s then Qs PF in a ring game.

    As soon as the 1st player raised it to .20 I had a bad feeling about the hand. This is where I usually go broke so I was only looking for a set or low cards to find out where I stand on the flop. It was an easy fold with a raise then the all in.

    Why? Because I want to know how some of you would've played it. Your opinions on other players hand histories does more then just give them ideas on other ways to play it.
