If i had KK then i would deffinetly call his all in, but in situation where i have QQ decidion calling his all in would depend on how villain game was before that all in.

This is my thought too. If you have QQ and are facing a regular all in from a regular player the best scenario would be the villan with AK or you really have the faith the he will apeers with JJ or worst?

Three times in my life have I folded QQ, KK and AA. The AA was on the bubble of a satellite, easy fold, the QQ was in a live cash game in which I knew the players. There was a raise, re-raise and then an all in before it even got to me. The other players had AA KK. The dude next to me thought I was crazy folding QQ preflop until the cars were flipped.

Preflop I am almost always calling with some exceptions including certain types of players or if I am not rolled for a tournament I might consider folding.

QQ/KK

QQ and KK to me are very different hands. I play cautiously with QQ, it can be beat much easier than KK. AA/AK/KK to me are get it all in, it may boil down to a flip... But life is a flip!!! "So don't think meat, just throw it!" Bull Durham quote.... :)

in a tournament i will call especially with KK . with QQ it would depend how deep i am and what kind of opponent i have

in cash games it also depends how deep i am and i would fold QQ to a nit . even KK i might fold if it is a nit and if i am very deep

once in a real life cash game session opponent raised preflop , i reraised him with my QQ and he went all in immediately . we both were pretty deep stacked . i thought about it for 1-2 minutes and then folded . he showed AA . and the guy was not even a nit

preflop: always call with qq and kk against 1 player. against 2 or more i might consider folding queens if i have a deep stacked and both players or at least 1 is very tight, but i have never fold kings preflop (unless its a satellite) even if more than 1 player shoves, therefore with kings i will most likely just go all in preflop in almost all scenarios. after the flop unless an ace hits the board or maybe a paired board like qq2 or jj3 if i have kk i will almost always called the shove after the flop. with queens its almost the same but any ace king or paired board can make me fold the hand.

That depends... Hehehe
I think you should have enough information from the opponent, of how he's selecting his range of hands.
You have to take into account the stage of the tournament, how many BB he has and you have, anyway, but overall, it is very difficult for someone to fold KK pre flop.
I think most people who play the micro limits don't fold with QQ KK, so particularly, I only fold with QQ.

Good luck at the tables!

if preflop - 90% call. If I already see the board, then you need to think. But I play on micro, here and with 22 many go all-in.

Daaang...good thing you folded but by that instant back raise he did sold his hand to you, I wouldn't call that hand also after me raising and him doing an instant back raise you know there is some form of trouble:cool::cool::cool:

I guess i've gotten to a stage where I going all in with certain hands is a lil no no I have to see the flop before I go all in, I've done this couple times with even AA and lost to some pretty sappy hands even 22 made trips on me once so it's all about the situation at hand and my stack size

On preflop, we need to keep twisting and exposing, because otherwise the button will be behind us "by accident" and we will play a 3-bet pot with QQ threesome in the "sandwich" - this is generally a wild horror. Any ace or king on the flop, we fold. Any coordinated flop and raise from the button - pass ... Horror, horror, horror !!!

I reraise if I have enough chips to get others out but if fewer chips I for sure call!

Hahaha typically I really don't make villains and play the cards as they lay...QQ or KK depends on what type of game, table dynamics and what the overall equity of what making that call or fold is..

QQ: I´d take a hard evaluated decision (table position and opponent ranges, blinds, and place to ITM)
KK: call. Without regreat even if I loose.

I think it depends on many factors as well as the style of play of each one. I am aggressive. I would bet everything. Sometimes you have to risk to win.

I'm usually calling all in with both these hands. You said both pre and flop so if an ace comes on the flop I'm not calling an all in. If a K comes on flop and I have QQ I'm also not calling to a shove. Preflop though unless it's an itm or bubble situation I'm calling almost 100% of the time against only one all in. If too tight players are all in then I could probably get away from queens preflop. But the situation matters. Chip counts. Blinds. Everything matters. You can't just say I would do this or I would do that 100% of the time without knowing the circumstances.

Depends from many circumstances - stacks, stage of tournament, buy-in, notes on villain and so on.
