I have been running quite bad with QQ lately...When I have 3 bet them in position and everytime I get 4 bet by villain, only to find out I'm against KK or AA, when I call the flop comes out awfully bad with A K X.
But anyways, theoretically speaking, QQ fares well against top 15% of range, so in the long run it should even out.
I think we need to stick to fundamentals, QQ is a premium hand pre flop, but if you get 4 bet or 5 bet even, then you probably are in bad shape, and if flop comes A K X, definitely tread carefully as it is now downgraded into a marginal made hand so check/fold might be the best way to go.

With QQ, it is better to go to a restaurant. And then-everything depends on the mutual attraction.

I hope you aren't folding QQ preflop :D Just play it like your regular hand, dont raise too big preflop to give exploitative signs to your opponents, the thing in poker is that you can't avoid coolers sometimes and even if they hit set or two pair or other strong hand you still have to go with it if there are weaker hands that would do the same, I hope you understand what I mean. Obviously if flop hits A or K and its multiway then it is pretty easy fold, just exploit your opponents if they hit their card or not.

good afternoon folks. and press mine or it's hard until it folds. lol Ultimately, I'm less likely to play with QQ than with any other card. many hands are lost with a pair of ladies in hand. it's not easy. and in your opinion my dear colleagues
I ve played against you a couple of times, and let me tell you this. You almost never fold and the marginal hands you play from awkward positions are staggering. I know for a fact that once you have +77 you move allin. So, I find it disturbing you making such a post dude.

hello good afternoon. I'm answering the guys in order here, but I'll answer you right away. because it blew and I was online. really my way of playing is good predictable, I've been playing poker for a long time, but I've been dedicating myself more for about 3 months, so I have a lot of addictive ways that I need to cut from my moves, because I'm an easy player to read after a few games. I'm dedicating myself to change some behaviors in play, one of them is the all in one, because I feel safer, I don't know if I'm right, but I think this was one that came out in the bubble at the final table. could have managed. but I prefer to go all-in, do lose to small pair on the flop, as I have lost last. I'm trying to change this approach, but it has become more vicious to get out of all with a pair above 77, I have to improve it, but as I said, it is not easy to change a vicile. thanks for the comment

It is hard to play QQ, in a game yesterday I had QQ about four times and only lost once. That is because I read comments here in the chatrooms and try to apply them to my game. Trust me it helps, so please keep posting it helps all of us.

I agree

Happy to get it all in preflop on most occasion but happy to see a flop and go from there also. Wins money more often than not.

hello how are you my friend, I'm learning a lot here, but I believe that playing with QQ will always be a moment of heart attack, depending on the level of play and placement on the itm

true

play QQ ... I guess there are a thousand ways to play them and everyone will defend their position on what is the right way to play them ... and there will be a thousand opinions ... I guess it doesn't depend on the situation at the table. The aggressive premium will always be the usual but let's not forget that there are 2 premiums ahead as AA or KK. that will almost always raise you but there will be many AX and KX who will play them in the call and you just have to know how to take care not to enlarge the pot and all that ... poker is so complicated and beautiful in the At the same time that I will never let you be like that fish forever

it is true. the most beautiful thing about poker is the diversity in the same game condition, as there are several ways that lead to the same result, but there are also several problems that are generated with the variance. so I love poker for knowing that as much as I know, I will always know nothing, lol

I really like pocket QQs. Especially when there are only low cards on the flop. Then I try to raise a little higher than normal for others to fold and prevent the turn / river card from having an A / K.

Only 3-bet. Poker is an unpredictable game. Sometimes when you have a QQ hand, your opponent will have a full house with 28. It is necessary to maintain composure and monitor each stage of the distribution, not forgetting to take into account the position

I always like to open strong QQ so I take initiative and prevent other players from entering the hand

Not necessarily - you can play any hand well and lose, but that doesn't mean you played it badly. For example, you flop a set of Queens and your opponent is committing all their chips on a draw and they get there. That doesn't mean that you played the hand badly.


In general, I agree with you. But if you lose all the time with strong cards, then it is obvious that you are still doing something wrong

Pocket QQs play just like the other two cards you decide to play for the pot. Of course, if you are not a fan of trash hands. This hand is good preflop. Raise 3-4 BB, and then the card will fall. :qc4::qs4: !?
