UTG raises to $0.30, CO calls $0.30, BTN calls $0.30, 1 fold, Hero raises to $1.50, UTG raises to $3.50, CO folds, BTN folds


I don't have much stats about pfr but had 13/13 in 25 hands.I assume he's either reg or NIT in both case he's more likely to have a good hand here.CO and BTN players are weaker players.Given the action is it right spot the fold QQ here?I assume he and I wouldn't bluff wide in that spot when the weaker players still have to act.What would be you play pre-flop?

Nothing wrong with folding QQ AK when 3 betting or squeezing a tight player opening UTG.

I like the squeeze but without reads or knowing UTG is tight if the action folds to you in the BB from his open then calling is my standard.

@Turlock good advice.Button calls the open and they are not full stacked (assuming they are a fish), don't you think there is merit to 3betting here with QQ over call just to re-iso? Sure a few times UTG will come over the top, but looks like a good spot to re-iso over calling as QQ is rather strong. My call range here is JJ

@Harvie Sorry I should have wrote clearer. I'm always squeezing QQ AK with the action in the hand. What I meant was that if there were no callers and just UTG in the pot I would call rather than 3 betting.I've no problems playing a single raised pot OOP versus UTG heads up.

With even a reg calling on the BTN here I would still squeeze though, multiway OOP looks much worse to me than the risk of UTG 4 betting, requiring us to fold.
