[QUOTE="Tygran, post: 661433, member: 25662"]
So now that I'm more aware of what I'm typing, just wanted to add to this by saying I wasn't posting out of frustration last night.  This is really a hole in my game and one I just can't seem to figure out the best way to fix it.

Against a bunch of relatively unknown opponents but that you suspect to be loose (I would classify someone this way if they have been playing alot of hands early and/or shown down some really poor hands), or known loose opponents, what the best way to play big pairs when you are in the first 2-3 blind levels AND in early position?  Specifically, what would you do preflop and more importantly, what do you do postflop what it comes undercards, no obvious draws?  On the one hand I don't really want to raise everyone out and get the 30 chips from the blinds with such a big hand, but I find if I don't raise huge (and even sometimes when I do) I get multiple callers with stuff like any ace, KJ, low pairs, suited connecters, etc....  I'm not trying to paint the picture that this happens all the time but it happens enough.  You don't really want to be playing QQ against 3 opponents.

This may seem trivially easy but it's really causing me problems lately.  So the biggest question I'm trying to ask is simply this:  When out of position with QQ-AA, and a rainbow of undercards flop.  What does it take for me to lay this down against a loose opponent who could be holding/betting anything?
