Folding QQ preflop in a tourney?

#1 11th September 2007, 11:30 AM

This is a hand i have trouble getting away from. I know if I raise in EP and a good soild player reraises me I am most like up agaist AA, KK, or AK. I normal play very TAG, so with that talbe image how could he reraise with much less. I am not talk the random donk who could have AJ or 77 and reraise. When a soild player reraise and you have say 35X bb, is this an easy fold? With a nice size stack would you want to risk it in this spot in most likly a coin flip or worse?

Personally, I feel its down to where you feel you sit at the table. If you feel that you are one of the better players then I would not want to risk a large chunk of my stack on what could turn out to be a coin-flip, as I would want to give my skill a chance to show through. However, if you feel that you are not one of the strongest players, or you are finding yourself a little short of chips - then I would probably move all-in.

If I feel that I'm strong at the table, then I would want to avoid coin flips, see some flops and outplay my opponents.

All the best,

Martin.

Pedroman,

You think the villains have been watching your style whilst at the table. Most will have not, so don't get caught up in thinking because he re-raises big time he must have a better hand.

Last night I had only played one out of 18 hands when I got dealt KK. Raise 5 xBB and get 1 caller. Flop comes K, 9, 2. I make another raise and villain goes puts me all in. I call and he turns over 7,8 os. Turn 6, River 10.

The table beat him up with this hand but it shows that people will call and raise with nothing.

I had to lick my wounds but hey .
