Gentlemen, several times I have read about how to play aggressively with QQ, especially in tournaments, including, I posted a hand with QQ a while ago, in which I bet, and received 3-bet, and i called. A totally unfavorable flop for me on which I folded.
Many at the time opined on going all in pre flop, and the reason was because I had a very "strong" hand.
I've been playing often, and I could see that usually when you get the 3-bet, the villain is always ahead, as much as nothing threatening appears on the flop.
Today I received qq once again, and received a 3-bet, I increased again and the villain was all in, and I was sure I was losing my hand, but even so I called, precisely taking into account some arguments in what I have read, both in the community, as in strategy articles.
Well, I was sure he had AA and game over for me.
Honestly, I'm not upset, the villain played very well, unlike me who did not play, because, I did not take into consideration my extinct, tournament time.
I read once I can not remember where, that said that every time you play a hand different from your usual, you lose, maybe that's what happened.
"A good player becomes patient to wait for a certain situation to play a pot and becomes disciplined to drop a hand that he deems to be the second best"
It must be poker theory that caveat, which, by the way, is a great truth.
Good luck at the tables!
