$265 NLHE MTT Deep Stacked: Spot with overpaid QQ

Villian Stats (VPIP/PFR/AF): 28/10/1

Hi,

Had a difficult spot with QQ this morning in the Million Dollar Sunday.


Villain raised 2.5x, I 3-bet 2.5x to 870, villain calls. Villains stats are pretty fishy, although only 38 hands so not much of a read.


Flop comes 9d8d2c. What's your move here? I'd like to generate some discussion on how others would play this hand in this spot against this opponent before I say how the hand played out.


Cheers

Why not bet on the flop with an overpair?

If you bet the flop and you get raised, what do you do?

If I get raised with an overpair I would typically reraise/shove. It's a pretty strong hand.

stack size ? other players stacks ? how many people on the table? how many people left to act? which stage on tournament? is there any ante? etc...

the villain goes up to 850 although the truth does not say as soon as the blinds were or how much you've got on the flop or how much in your stack or the villain, lack information to tell you how to play or try to play it ...

Sorry guys I'll add more info, PT4 is playing up and still getting used to posting hands. Haven't done it in a while.

Never am i folding an OP in this position if i get raised im calling and letting him hang himself on the turn when he misses a draw or thnks A10 is the best hand i feel people play different because its a 215 million dollar tournament but if it was a 10 dollar tournament what are you doing? probably trying to get it in on the flop youll never win the big one play differently or more scared you need chips to make it deep

I agree w/ dpoole, you have an over pair w/ an interested customer. I throw out a 3/4 pot bet and see where you are. Even if they raise, you can flat call and see the turn. The pressure will return to them and you have more info.

Im betting 40% flop esp if I 3bet pre

So stacks were deep. I can't find the hand but we were about 60bb deep. We had an SPR of about 3-4 on the flop.

The hand played out that my c-bet was raised on the flop, I decided to shove and he snap called with a set and I didn't get any help.


I agree with that I shouldn't change my playing style, he can have so many draws and some TPTK hands or pair plus draw hands which is why I went with it.


Had I decided to call the turn was the King of spades, and we then have less than a pot sized bet behind. Maybe I can get away from it, but since he didn't re-raise pre and I'm blocking some K combos, I'm not sure I could get away from the hand. Always sucks to lose in a big one.

Bet, call if raise, then check the turn and if he bets, plan to fold the river if he bets; if i have position i fold the turn; this line can change according to the turn and river cards
