$4 NL HE Full Ring: QQ to a shove from an aggressive player
First of all, this is for a 0.01/0.02 NL cash table on FT. Not sure why that option didn't show up in the dropdown menu, sorry for the confusion. To my post: I'm new to cash games so I'm waaaaay out of my element here. I'm sure I'm doing tons of stuff wrong, but thats exactly why I'm posting here. To ask all you good people to let me know what's what. I've been playing nothing but 45 and 90 man SnGs for the first 3 months of my poker career, and just got my roll to where I can play the .01/.02 cash games on FT.
A little bit of context, the villains in this story have both been playing quite aggressively: re-stealing and re-raising several times. I'm putting both of these guys on anything from a medium pocket pair to a naked ace, although I certainly wouldn't put AK or AQ out of their range. So I'm guessing that at best I'm a strong favorite, and at worst I'm a coinflip. The shoves here come after my standard 2xBB raise from UTG holding QQ. How should I respond here, given that I feel pretty good about how my queens fair against their range? In a tourney this would be a pretty clear fold/call depending on the stage of the tourney, but like I said, I'm new to cash games so swimming a little bit in uncharted territory here...
Many thanks in advance for any responses!
