Villain 18/14 over 80 hands. I think my last re raise is questionable/bad here, please comment on that as well.

This is a spot I have trouble with, when I have a fairly tightish villain and I have QQ-KK and get an A flop.

I think you're beat here a lot of the time. For starters he 3b huge which is usually the sign of a decent hand from a taggish player (which he is according to his stats). So i'd fold flop unless you know he can do this with 99+ which would require a read

Fold. He's not ridiculously tight but I'm guessing his 3bet/call a 4 bet range having to play the rest of the hand OOP is pretty polarised and contains an A the majority of the time. Then he donks into you , from that play alone I'm presuming hes not a very good poker player and will play his hands pretty face up so QQ hits the muck here.

Bigger preflop. Also ask yourself why he would donk an Ace here?

i'd make it $1.50 pre at these stakes. 4betting smaller only really becomes important once you start 4b bluffing

Anyone else think folding here is very weak?

80 hands is enough to have reads.

yeah i would of 4 bet bigger, then when he leads out i would raise him to see where i am at in the hand , if he re-rases me then i would have to check the sats on my hud for more thinking time, but if he did re-raise me then i might lean on folding depends on the raise amount

I agree 4bet should have been enough take the pot there, maybe pot it or more... his rep and position suggests an A or high pr PF, and the A on flop is a killer. I would not continue if he was still pushing OOP, and he is...

you do realize that new people are going to read this and listen to you right?? this is horrible advice. why would we want to 4bet bigger with QQ "to try to get them to fold"?

One common and HUGE leak among microgrinders is calling 4-bets OOP. 4-bet bigger to exploit this.

like even if the guy donks into you multiple times, you can probably justify calling down all the way to gain additional reads. the OOP donk-donk-donk line looks so FOS and this board is so static (your hand's value will remain basically the same on most turn + river runouts) that you can just call down be good here really often. if he ends up having AJo or something, you'll still gain the read that this guy calls 4b's with questionable + easily dominated hands OOP, which will be profitable in and of itself
