$200 NLHE Full Ring: Should I find a fold with QQ on an Ace high board?

#1 10th July 2016, 12:24 PM

Hi guys

Live game. I have about 120$ and am covered. 3 limps and I make it 12$ to go with QQ. All 3 limpers call.

Flop is AT2 two tone. First to act leads for half pot I and everyone else folds.

My rational is that multiway lots of aces can be floating around. Is a call and a re-evaluation on the turn the right play here? How about a raise?

My read on these weak 1-2$ games (allthough you may classify my fold as weak lol) is to wait for a better spot. I hadn' t had a good read on the donk better as of yet.

Thanks for your feedback!

Raise bigger preflop to get a few limpers out. Online you can use the 3bb + 1bb per limper, but live you're going to have to raise bigger. With a hand like QQ you could make it 20$ for extra value and STILL get two callers.

Don't assume they're bluffing postflop. If they donk a board like that, you can assume it's TP+. If they bet a flush draw, then they're still going to have a lot of equity vs you and you're going to pay off two big bets on the turn and river without knowing whether you're still ahead or not. Folding is perfectly fine.
Raising is pointless: no better hands are folding, no worse hands (except flush draws) are calling.

Folding is probably default. Pay attention to the donker and figure out what he's doing.
