not 4 betting pre flop was a huge mistake.... yes????

Yes, 4-bet and get it in preflop. Flatting the 3-bet is a huge leak. I think I can count on one hand the number of times in the past 250k hands I played where flatting a 3-bet out of position was correct, and all of them involved playing deep stacked with a speculative hand against a spewy opponent with a very tight 3-bet range. If you don't think your hand is strong enough to 4-bet, then fold. Against a regular, though, 4-betting QQ is essentially never bad.

Postflop, I'd like to hear your reasoning for check/calling the flop before I can tell you what I think you should do on the turn.

The line you've taken is more along the lines of a deep stacked full ring live game where 3 betting is infrequent. Had these been the conditions I'd like your line thusfar. However in an online 6 max game where 3 betting is frequent we need to value QQ more than we would in the other hypothetical scenario. 4 betting is fine pre if people will shove 100BBs with TT+ and AK. If villain is tighter than that I have no problem flatting OOP planning to get it in somehow on a brick board and seeing if they spaz out with TT or JJ

I check called the flop because i was so scared he had AA KK. if he had AK or a semi bluff draw with JJ or TT I would then shove on the turn with a sign of weakness. unforntuately for me i forgot i had to act first so hence my problem.

is shoving here oop wrong?
