Hello cardschatters!
I´ve recently made the switch from primarily being a MTT player to now playing 2c/5c zoom. I´m not able to invest 6 hours in to a tourny any more so zoom fits in easier lol
I´ve had a similar situation come up on numerous occasions and wouldn´t mind some advice coz it´s a cash game problem...
Last night I had two almost identical situations that I couldn´t get away from....
Im sitting on approx 7.50euro (150BB). Picked up QQ UTG and raised to 15c (3BB). Was then faced with a decent-sized 3-bet from mid/late position - around 50c (10BB). Now i´m not immediately scared of AA or KK every time i face a 3-bet but I have noticed on zoom tables that monsters like to oversize bet a UTG raiser - im guessing because theyre assuming i must have something decent to raise UTG otherwise id hit "fast-fold"!
So i call the 3-bet OOP and the flop comes 10 high. I check, villain c-bets slightly more than the pot which i call. Turn is a brick and i check-call his shove and he turns over AA.
In a tournament i would just see QQ vs AA as just a cooler. Even if i was sitting with 80 plus BBs it would just play out. But on a cash game your playing super-deep and I feel there must be another option than to call-off 150+ BBs with one pair.
Is it best to 4-bet preflop? With his 50c bet tho, I´d be raising to 1.20euro+ which doesnt really affect the postflop action if he calls - it would still all end up in the middle (maybe just one street sooner!). If he 5-bets me i could maybe get away but if he flats with KK or AA i´m still in the same situation.
Is there a consideration for folding QQ OOP preflop?? Or could I have got away at any other point?
Thanks in advance
