  1. Didn't think Villain would be flatting QQ pre or on the flop here, but I guess I was mistaken... Is there a better line to take here with this flop? What type of range do you put him on with flat/flat/ then turn 3bet? Pretty pissed at myself for going broke here but would like to hear others thoughts, thanks

  2. Probably always gonna go broke here. His raise to only 1500 looks like a raise for value though, so I might start considering a set (not of queens though, based on the preflop action). But if you slow down and just call there and check to him on the river, he's putting it all in. The 7 might've saved you money. Tough spot.
  3. For some reason I had kinda ruled out a set thinking he would probably 3 bet the flop on such a drawy board. In the heat of the moment I read the 1500 raise as like KQd, QJd, Q10d something that picked upt top pair and FD on the turn. Also thought it was possibly air or semi-bluff to get me off a smaller overpair 99-JJ or FD myself. Guess that's a leak to dismiss possible sets here? Man this is one of those hands I'd love to have over-feels pretty stupid to tool off this many chips with just a pair and get owned :P.

  4. Nah man, it's AA. You're not the first and you won't be the last. I couldn't put him on air or a semibluff unless I've been watching him play and know he's capable of that. Your Q hand speculations are certainly all possibilities.
