Instant call because only AA and KJ beat you, and KJ is unlikely because of his 3-bet. AK, AQ, AJ, A10 (questionable preflop reraise tho), and 10 10 are also in his range and fit the check raise all in.

PF looks fine, I don't mind getting it AI either, but whatever we do we can't fold QQ to a player this aggressive imo.

Postflop I bet more, but as played it's a standard stack. Add anything but on top of AA to his range and it's a clear shove.

You will definitely see hands like AK, AQ, or TT more often than you will see aces, I call this all day.

 

[BelgoSuisse]

Preflop, villain's min 3-bet really makes me think of AA. With an A on the flop comes, it becomes less likely, and the action could indeed be AK, AQ or TT, so while my gut tells me to fold, I do the crying call.

please leave longer for people to look at hands in the future.

Although this hand is standard, more interesting discussions could be lost in the future due to early posting of results

 

[joos]

just a cooler. no way you can lay down QQ there, ever.

 

[custo80]

Insta call! Shame about outcome but not laying that down!

 

[feitr]

Obviously a cooler nobody on earth would or should lay that down.

 

[Announced]

Donk minraise pre-flop + flop check = Aces. I eliminate AK/AT/AJ from his range due to the minraise PF. I would like to eliminate AQ also, but without looking at the pre-flop action, I could see a check/raise coming from AQ on that flop. I don't see our villain playing KJ that way pre-flop. I think the only legitimate hands we can put the villain on are AA/TT. This hand is not as standard as everyone seems to think. At NL10, you have to be able to pick up on patterns and tendencies, and too many times the player has Aces here. I feel that in a situation like this, observations make a fold a viable option. I'm not saying that I would be capable of making this fold; I probably push it in as well. But I am definitely not happy with pushing on the flop as much as I want to get the money in.

 

[OzExorcist]

Standard (though crying) call I think - the pre-flop action does look a hell of a lot like aces. As Announced has announced, the small "G'arn, shove over the top of me" reraise is usually a dead giveaway.

The possibility that this could be AK, AQ or TT means you pretty much have to call though.
