So you have QQ. You have a premiun hand. Therefore, you 4-bet the villain. The villain ends up calling your 4-bet. Now what do you do?

PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (UTG): 126.5 BB
MP: 107.5 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 16.67, 3Bet Preflop: 20.00, hands: 12)
CO: 102.5 BB (VPIP: 27.27, PFR: 9.09, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 11)

BB: 93 BB (VPIP: 18.52, PFR: 14.81, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 29)

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has :qc4: :qh4:

Hero raises to 4 BB, fold, fold, BTN raises to 13.5 BB, fold, fold, Hero raises to 30 BB, BTN calls 16.5 BB

Flop: (61.5 BB, 2 players) :as4: :5s4: :9c4:
Hero bets 30 BB, BTN raises to 181 BB and is all-in, Hero ???

Definitely not bet the flop. This is most likely a check/fold here against action because you only beat JJ/TT which I'm not even sure that he will call here often. Mostly he traps with AA/KK or has AKs/o.
If he has a high AF, I might call a smallish flop bet, otherwise I fold and cry a little.

I agree with afghani, people in microstakes love to trap with AA/KK, he's never reraising with JJ or TT, at least you can't assume it. You can only call here if you have some serious reads.

Thanks. That makes sense. So this is an easy fold rationally speaking, but heartbreaking at the same time.

Easy fold at the end yeah. Hardest part was, not to over prize your QQ. For me it a sword with two blades. He was I suppose A 5, weak A, just trying to push you a wear in pre flop fight.. later is easy to push you back. My advice, good fold. Next time fold preflight QQ, I never play them. :)

IMO it isn't. Easy fold but I think you played it right. But many disagrees with me. Check my thread where we had a very similar discussion recently.

Definite fold. Don't CBet on this flop, you're over valuing your QQ. Villian most likely has JJ+, AKs. I wouldn't have 4 bet pre-flop. Over a sample of 100 hands it's small but he has pretty solid stats. The re-raise all in is not a bluff. He either his a set of Aces or AK
