    Nobody has been out of line at the table & it has been a fairly tight table. I flatted to reevaluate on the flop cause I'm sick of throwing it all in and losing to AK.

    How would you play it?

    i dont like ur call with qq. if u got jj or worse, i think calling is more justified. but with qq there, u should have 3bet to 2500 or 3000 or so. either way, ur losing, but if u 3bet, u have a chance to get away from ur qq when the villian 4bets. i would still call the allin tho, especially at a $5 table. gotta 3bet with qq in that spot tho....although i think calling in that spot with AA, KK, JJ, or 1010 is justifiable- AA and KK to slowplay and JJ and 1010 because ur afraid of what villians may have.

    [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]IMO I don’t flat the first raise …the more action pre the more info you receive. GOD88 would obv re-raise u which raises the suspicion of AA KK or if he’s a loose aggro player MAYBE AK… Then it’s up to u to decide to fold or gamble with ur QQ… IMO I fold to a third raiser; what else is he going to raise 2 ppl with? Don’t get married to ur hand if u think ur beat… Hope this gave you some incite [/FONT]J[FONT=Calibri] GL[/FONT][/SIZE]

    3bet pre, but then villain wil prolly just shove. then it could be anything from 1010+ and AK and you'll have to call
    in this case his range is the same, JJ+ and AK (he'll prolly shove AK pre oop tho)
    but anyways with these stacks, urs being under 30bb, its a plain cooler, so nothing you can do about it
