non traditional QQ play

[weber_sw]

You are sitting at a .25/.50 blind cash game on stars. UTG raises to 1.50 (VP$P 30% PFR 20% 180 hands seen). He gets 3 callers including the button. You have QQ in the BB with about $45. The four callers have between $23-$61. You obviously dont want to fold or cold call.

In this situation I have been occasionally just pushing all in. I dont put UTG on a strong hand because of his stats. I figure KK or AA would have reraised. I figure I may get calls from 99+ or AK on an all in push. If I raise to $4-$7 the only realistic call other than a creative AA play is AK, JJ or an loose set chaser. If button calls Im out of position with a difficult play if an A or K hits the flop. If it does not my villian will likely fold his AK and I win a realitively small pot. I play enough hands that if i get that AK call im happy because of the approx 56% to 44% advantage and loosing a few "coin flips" will not tilt me because of good BR management.

What are your thoughts on occasionally using this play and why? Thanks.

If you can get AKo to ship it pre-flop, why not out play them when you have a better hand?
All-In pre-flop = bingo = no skill

Lost with QQ so many Times Mate. Dont risk your Tourney with that hand.

All in before preflop is part of poker Assistanc3.
It's call gambling.
Well I like pocket queens but the odds is high that's A or K will hits on boards. So better start raising.
If someone push you all in, it's become difficult to call.

That is why the majority (85%+) of poker players are losing money players.

just like the first commment: all in preflop is bingo.

QQ got me today and won big for me tooo

[synergybros]

I had a bad QQ play turned into a big win this afternoon at the casino.

$2/$5
Stack - $995

BB with QQ

ok so UG limps $5, UG+2 also limps, (this is what got me, first time I seen him limp all day).. so it folds all the way to me, even me SB folds. So I think and think and think, and ahh fuck it I'm going to check, (might be the first time I've done that)...

Flop Q32

I check, UG bets $22 (little more then pot) , UG+2 raises to $198 (all-in) I think about it for about 45 seconds and just call. UG raises all-in to $2000 or something stupid, I insta call obviously.. UG had 33, UG+2 had AA..

HAHA WEEEEEEEEEEEEE

that is my story with QQ for today =) then I got the hell out of there , but before I did I watched the guy that limped with AA there lose about 4k in 20 minutes..

Oh! and the turn was a 4, so I automatically expected a 5 on the river , haha that's how much online poker has messed with my head.

QQ is dirty. I never push hard pre-flop if I snag it though.
