this good?

this bad! ahahaha OMG - he bet 1/3 the pot on the flop and you fold QQ?

I would re-raise this to about 6.50 and if he re raises all in - FOLD. Otherwise if he calls then you prolly need to check fold to the river.

You might even want to raise a little more - he might have AA, KK, QQ - i would say he probably has KK or AA. He might fold to a big reraise on a Jack high flop based on your play - as he might put you on JJ - but let's face it - most of the time if you have AA, KK on this flop - you are gonna go all the way. He definately looks like AA, KK but i still don't think you can fold to that flop bet without trying to get some more information first.

nothing wrong here either he wants to get paid
i'd call the minibet to see what he does on turn

why do you check the flop...?

u check the flop cause you should check raise all in. More chance he folds AA, KK if you play it like this considering the pf action. He could have JJ but that would just be bad luck - and he didn't play PF like he had JJ

because i think he had me beat? rofl.

rofl? what are u talking about this is nl25 nobodys folding KK or AA

That's insightful Mike - thanks!

preflop reraise is horrible, flop fold is fine i guess even though that bet was extremely small you only beat AK, on these limits you should decide preflop to only play for set value when he 3-bets pf oop with such obvious choreography of his hand

this smells like AA / AK
frontbet is the best way to go here

call minibet the way this was played
if he smoothcalls you can check/fold or check/go broke

some people should talk less and think more.

as for the hand - u should have very solid read to play it like this. the flop is safe so u really should test where u are. i think front betting is prolly good, if u are raised u are prolly beat, if u are called, its not as easy to know, but its quite probable u are beat too (if ur bet was any decent - 3/4 pot ++)

well then thats pretty bad to find out. The only way i have him beat here is if i bet and he fold which gives me no value. thats 2 to 1.
check/fold is the right move here then.

when in doubt, go allin

yeh i prolly should keep quiet - but thought i would try and contribute.

I agree with the more experienced posters - but they all said similar things to me anyway. I didn't realise you were first to act - so i agree with leading out. But i would prolly check too cause i am a donk and i would be scared of reraise AND flat call because i think i am beat anyway!
