LIVE $2/$5 at local casino.

Effective stacks and holdings
Hero: $300 (QQ)
Villain 1: $250 (AA)
Villain 2 : $75 (AKos)

Villain one opens pot from UTG+2 to $25
I 3bet from MP to $60.
Villain 2 4bets all in from the CO for $75

Villain 1 calls
I call.

Flop comes
Q75 rainbow.
Villain 1 checks
I shove all in
Villain 1 calls.

Turn comes K
River comes K.

I win both pots.

Was this played okay? Could I have played this differently in the future and did I just get lucky ?

Also, could you have gotten away from AA here if you were villain?

No reads here?

Against an old person, you could consider calling pre with queens since they're so tight, but this seems standard to me.

The biggest read I have from Villain 1 is his range is incredibly tight. So usually he will ahve a PP or AK/AQ etc if he's raising.

It is no point to go all-in if u have best hand, villian one could just fold(its easy enough to detect that u could have 77/qq cause u just called villian's 2 all-in.
I would bet 1/2-2/3 pot and called if vil1 raised, next hand same and check-raise all-in on river.

shove seems atrocious, considering we only have 1 pot sized bet, i would consider just checked flop etc.

dry board and you have Nuts, even if turn was K as it turned out to be small chance he has KK and even then its only a pot sized bet.

I think you played it ok preflop. Personally I think your raise was a bit small (maybe about $75-$85 to protect your hand more). As for the flop play......The only play worse than that one would be leading out with a fold. lol. Just kidding. However, I do agree with some of the other posts that moving in was a bad decision with such a dry flop. The only hands that can call your shove are very big hands like AQ, KK, AA, another set, and maybe KQ. Because of this, Villain 1 is going to fold to your all in over 90% of the time. This time you were VERY fortunate that the villain had one of the few hands that will call. You are so strong here that you can allow him to see the turn cheaply or even for free because you do not fear any turn card. I think betting 1/2 the pot here is fine, but I think checking behind would be the best move. Checking behind might induce him to take a stab at the pot with a hand like 66-JJ, AK, or AJ (most of these would never call an all in).
Good Luck

So, if this flop came out double suited, would it then be justifiable to move all in?
