These situations are always tricky.
You hit your queen, but there is also a K on the board.
You don't have TPTK, so not really a made hand. Against 2 opponents I think you should check/fold this all the way.

It's like holding QQ and facing a K on the flop, the only difference is that you have 3 extra outs with your A now.
And I don't think that difference is worth betting here.

A cheap showdown isn't that bad here :)

nh!

push flop ? the pot is more the 1and half your stack and therefore you push with any hands you raised pre-flop with.

Good point about the stack size, but I still doubt if you also push this against 2 opponents on this board.

I wonder what the experts have to say about this :)

Hi Oly0909,

as far as you know (and I assume you do know since you're posting this hand) according to the basic strategy it's a check/fold till showdown. But with flopped second pair and in position I think you may go for a push on the flop. But it's always a matter of oponents - are they passive? are they aggressive?

Without reads i'd push flop.
