how aggressive do you personally play QQ preflop ?

Baldy86 · May 16, 2023

yes another thread about QQ

i hate that hand

how aggressive do you play it preflop . including facing big aggression from at least 1 other player

puzzlefish · May 16, 2023

it's going to depend on stack sizes, positions, and tournament structure amongst player-specific factors

QQ is not that much different from most other pocket pairs - if you remember that then you won't overplay it, unless you're already all in pre-flop in which case you either got it in good or already overplayed it

ALL IN and hope u hold

NightStalker · May 16, 2023

I always raise.
It's my luck hand.
QQ

BOXING71 · May 16, 2023

I'm not going all-in with this hand, it often loses. I'll raise the bet and then it will become clear on the flop. Only if the stack is small, then of course it's possible to take the risk.

It depends on my position, on the stage of the tournament, and on who my opponents are. But overall, probably 80% of the time I'm ready to go all-in with that hand.

Well I often lose with that hand. But I never slow play it. I generally raise... but sometimes fold if more than one opponent is already all-in.

Aggressively enough it ends up as complete disaster

sincos · May 17, 2023

On a 2bb bet I raise 8bb, is a 3bb bet I raise 10bb.

budweiser74777 · May 17, 2023

as aggressively as possible - to isolate the most unnecessary players

serj537 · May 17, 2023

It all depends on the size of the stack. If the stack allows, you can play, and if not, all-in is unequivocal.

pankoffff · May 17, 2023

It all depends on your position at the table and how many opponents entered the hand. If you raise and get 3-bet, and then face a 4-bet or a shove, it's worth considering folding.

skaterick · May 17, 2023

i am almost always short stacked so i just shove all the chips in !

amonlima · May 17, 2023

It's a premium hand! Most of the time you will put all your chips in the pot, pre-flop.

MikeCarasone · May 17, 2023

QQ is a premium hand and as such I am likely to be 3 or 4 betting this hand most times. Ofc there’s certain times are will play tight with QQ , such as a very tight opponent raised big I may just flat and see the flop then determine my plan. Other wise I am often willing to play aggressively most times.

Cooking · May 17, 2023

It depends of my reading of my opponents, the tournament, stack size and positions. But I usually like QQ. Lately I'm having better results with QQ than AA.

drdnd · May 17, 2023

It depends on tournament buy in, level, stack, ITM and others. Usualyy I play it agressive.

not so fast

when you are deep you cant just shove all in preflop when you face a rerererererereraise lol

especially not a shove in hand in cash games unless you have opponent covered by a big margin or if opponent is a maniac ( even then when you are deep you are risking too much)

thats my take on it personally

Niveau1 · May 17, 2023

In the initial phase of a tournament, only normal open raise and with 3-4bet a maximum call if the bet is not too big. As the tournament progresses, I raise bigger and 3-bet too. Always dependent on stack size, position and type of player.

You hate QQ and you love KK?

Problem detected and solved: stop loving and hating hands. Just play them. QQ is awesome but you will get called by K2 and lose to it. It will happen almost 50% of times, so be smart.
In tournaments it will happen sooner than later, the amount of bad beats you will have holding QQ is uncountable!
Keep playing and let the chips fall as they may!

Falai_san · May 17, 2023

For me, there has to be some aggressiveness in the game that works at critical times .

As I said, in most situations you will put all your chips in pre-flop, when we are deeper, there is a premium risk factor, that is, depending on the villain we will make the decision to fold or go down.

kley126 · May 17, 2023

depending on the opposition and who you play against but this is a hand that you should play hard

edenman1 · May 17, 2023

Its a great hand and I play it strong. I have had quite a bit of luck recently with the QQ, almost cant lose!

Fushicho · May 18, 2023

Well, I thought I over played, but reading the thread a lot of poeple are pushing all-in and I wouldn't do that. Big raise though or call a big raise. Then just hope a K or A doesn't come on the flop.

how aggressive do you personally play QQ preflop ?
