    I am playing 5 and 5 pot limit HOE at a casino in Iowa. I have about 780.00 in front of me and we are playing pot limit holdem. The guy first to act makes it 20.00 and the next guy who just sat down calls, the next guy folds and I look down at QQ and I make it 75.00. The original raiser folds and the guy who flat calles the 20.00 bet reraises pot and it was about 250.00 for me to call. I put him on hands like AA KK or AK and figured if i played this hand I couldnt just flat call I would have to push all in or fold. I folded thinking I was either racing or dominated and didnt want to risk all the money in a race and I also didnt have much invested. BTW he had me covered in chips so I figured I could wait for a better spot considering Ohmaha Hi which is my best game was next. What do u think I should of done?

    Nitty fold live, but I can't really argue much against it. It's hard w/o reads, but he might just be 'establishing himself' or 'don't care about money' so a shove is fine too.

    Basically, if you felt uncomfortable in the hand, then the fold was correct in that instance, because you probably would have felt lost on any flop other than Q32 or something. Maybe you got a body-language read you didn't even realize.
