Do you fold QQ if on flop you see A, or K or 3 suited and you QQ not this suit, but villain contbet halfpot or more?

I call once on Flop with Ace or King on board in single raised pot. Multiway I fold at times to a larger bet as either of my opponents like have an Ace or King.

I immediately reduce my aggression and control the pot and give up to my opponent's big raise:jd4::):jd4:

Hi Friend.

It depends, if you had the initiative by betting Pre Flop it is better to continue betting, so you make your Rival believe that you have the best game, if the Rival had the initiative it is better to wait and see what he does, it happens many times that in the River he saves the bet, either by completing a full house or a set to give you more confidence. :)

It's a difficult situation, but depending on the moment of the tournament and how many chips I have, I'll fold for sure, but if I'm much bigger than the opponent, I believe I'd risk it.

I usually check call one bet depending on my stack to pot ratio. See the turn if I don't improve or if I do improve I either fold or call another bet. That also again depends on the amount. Always going to a better spot.

Not necessarily I fold, however, I avoid overbetting in order to control the pot, mainly when I´m in Early positions and I´m not playing Flop as aggressor.

I think it's pretty situational. More often than not, I'm folding. Especially in the games I play, and who is in the pot with me. If I raised and have several callers, I'm probably toast. If I'm in a heads-up pot it becomes more player and feel dependant. There are players in my game and stakes that play EVERY ace to the river. Most of them will also donk bet the Ace on the flop, so that usually saves me chips.

If it's a multi-way post on the flop, I will fold Queens probably the large majority of the time unless you have a real good read on your opponent and what their tendencies are. The one thing I notice when reading these questions, which are good questions, but often goes overlooked is that while you are saying (without actually saying it) that this board is really bad for your hand, "MAYBE" this flop is also bad for your opponent's hand too.

When you start to look at flops in that context, that it affects everyone similarly, you're now looking at situations in more depth than you have before. Then, you can semi-bluff at these pots, sometimes with the best hand, sometimes not. It won't always work of course, but you're giving yourself a chance to win pots you otherwise have no business winning.

It depends on how I perceive the player. Are they a tight reg, or a weak lag? The wider their range, then the more likely QQ is still good. Even against a solid and tighter range, QQ is still a premium hand though.

Just because an Ace hits the community cards, that doesn't mean someone paired an Ace. Same with King and same with Flush for same suit on board. Like every hand, we should be aware of hands which may beat us (and play cautiously appropriate for the situation), but QQ is still ahead of most ranges and there is no reason to fold this early without a fight.

Premium cards like QQ are not 100%, but most of the time we are ahead here, so why fold the best hand? I'd need a reason to believe I'm beat to fold, more than just possible we are beat.

In this situation, I will probably fold if there are more than three players in the game.

If the cbet does not exceed 10% of the effective stack, then pot control will be the best solution. There is a high probability of bluffing here.
If more then you can fold.

My game with QQ is simple: if I manage to expose preflop against a weaker range, I'm glad. If I am 3betted out of position by low 3bet players, I try not to call at all.

In most cases, in this situation, of course, Fold !!! If there are a lot of chips and the player often bluffs, you can make a small reraise and give up if the player continues to play aggressively !!!
