Thanks.

Thanks.

When a nit raises from early position and another nit 3bet him, probably. For sure you are against AA; KK, QQ and AK

it has happened to me to throw this preflop hand just before the bubble. it may seem loose but in the end I managed to reach the objective of going beyond the bubble. there are times during the game where it is better not to take risks.

I think the only way that I would consider to fold QQ preflop ... would be that I find myself in the bubble and the player (1) 25bb, raise and then the player (2) 50bb, do all-in and I with 40bb would fold ...!

I have folded QQ preflop a few times. Most were after a large raise and re-raise where I would be in a multi-way pot heading for an all-in. Even if my queens were the best hand going in playing against 3 or more opponents turns the hand into a gamble that could easily cost me my tournament life. I have also done it at a final table where 2 other players had already made huge bets that would most likely lead to a shove and a chance for me to level up when the loser was eliminated.

In a very bad position when payjump is very high and many players go all-in.
But you have an 80% chance of winning.

On 5th bet: raise-reraise-reraise if I have 500 big blinds

All depends on the positions and types of players at your table but today ranges are much wider then in the past. So its harder to fold QQ under most of the circumstances. Bubble saving yourself you should probably fold, of course if you re not the short stack.

Of course there are times to fold it pre-flop, but this is a premium hand you need to usually take to the flop.

I will if it's on the bubble and there are players left with less chips. Maybe not the best strategy but it works for me. Same reason I would fold AA.

Will also fold if there's a raise a shove and another caller.

It depends on how much I have and if I am on the bubble. Q,Q have not been nice to me. To many times a "A" comes on the flop someone increases the bet and I have folded.

Or even worse: Someone raise from early position, someone 3-bets, and now a nit cold 4-bet jam for his 30BB or more. You can pretty comfortably put him on AA or KK, and for sure its never a hand, you are way ahead of like JJ or AQ. And since you have nothing invested in the pot yet, you actually have a very easy fold.

It happens that AA has to be dropped in a very important tournament. If several players have gone all-in before you, it is better to fold a premium hand. Chances to win are few.

Ever fold QQ pre flop with too many raises before me. All depends of the context. If i feel Bad or right of my chips.:vollkomme

 

[nurjemal]

I never reset QQ
I watch professionals play
they didn't reset QQ either

 

[vittopio]

I can easily throw a hand during the start of the tournament on an all in from 2 players! And of course if I am playing satelitt in the prize zone and Korotyshev go to an all inn!

Depends on action before your turn. If opponent is super-tight in early position, or you're facing 3-bets or a lot of aggression, you may want to fold. Sometimes your gut just tells you your opponent has AA or KK. You should listen. Forget the stats and follow your instinct.

 

[leogetz79]

i think i should fold QQ in some situations, but i never could. and most of the time i win and sometime i lose to a bad beat. and rarely i loose to KK ou AA.

I will if it's on the bubble and there are players left with less chips. Maybe not the best strategy but it works for me. Same reason I would fold AA.

Will also fold if there's a raise a shove and another caller.

I fully support! Once I also threw off AA and was absolutely right! But sometimes you can take a chance, because luck is part of the game of poker)

 

[gravac]

I will never fold QQ as in my poker history I have won so many times with pair Q.. So i will bet/raise in every situation with this two and if I'm re-raised or there is a 3 bet consider that in high value tourneys there is a big chance for they having AA or KK its my personal choice even that I know I can't win every time, but like I said this proved like good option for me. Lets be clear I don't recommend making this move I'm just saying what works for me.

 

[Sokolik]

I've never done that. And this in most cases cost the damage of my stack. Now I'm thinking.

 

[dorynel7]

I never fold QQ it s a top pair.GL

 

[MAGICUZ]

If I know the player, then I can drop, otherwise I will play.

My opinion

When an ace do to come and do to beat you. Kings a usually more forgiving. Kings a divorce problem anyways.

 

[AizenFalck]

Never, and it has become a bless and a curse hahaha you will never know with Qs
