Right, so lately I started to think about my game and that results in some situations where I do something different than I would have normally done. This is one of those situations. I know QQ is pretty, but I used to auto-stackoff with that hand. In this situation I decided not to 4bet.
My thought was that 4betting here would simply isolate myself against KK+. So the only reason for 4betting would be to pick up the pot. And I thought QQ was too good for just picking up a pot here. Both players had reasonable cbet%, so I thought calling would be better here.
Now I would like to know your thinking process, or any comments on my thinking process and what play would you prefer.
As played the flop is rather easy c/f, so no real questions about that.
