SB: $23.63 (147.7 bb)
BB: $12.32 (77 bb)
UTG: $23.07 (144.2 bb)
Hero (MP): $23.93 (149.6 bb)
CO: $27.92 (174.5 bb)
BTN: $18.85 (117.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with Q Q
UTG raises to $0.32, Hero calls $0.32, CO calls $0.32, 2 folds, BB calls $0.16

Flop: ($1.36) 3 8 6 (4 players)
BB checks, UTG bets $0.65, Hero raises to $1.92, 2 folds, UTG raises to $7.06, Hero folds

Preflop: I usually call this MP vs UTG, but maybe I should raise against this sizing.

Flop: There is a chance that I have the best hand, but on that board and the player behind, I decided to raise, but was planing to fold if he 3bets. Should I rather call? As played, I don't want to go broke when we are deep.

UTG: 42/29/39 (VPIP/PFR/H)

With the value of hindsight is not we must 3bet this spot preflop unless we look to shove any squeeze?

UTG seems loose, you are both deeper and he is opening 2bb - easy 3bet preflop imo.

Flop: probably fold is weak but with folding you will avoid doing more costly mistakes.

I like the idea of 3 betting preflop and not letting others to join from behind.
On the flop the fact that you raise mw and villain 3 bets is very strong.

Keeping some strong hands in your range is a good idea (as you move up), but maybe all QQ is too much. (Make it the all red ones and the all black ones = 33% + one AA (out of six) and one KK?, just an idea.)

call QQ MP v UTG is fine as a default

It's important to adjust vs your villian though, the wider villian is, and the more villian calls 3bets the more likely I will 3B QQ.

General tendencies at these stakes is people fold alot UTG therefore I prefer to flat, infact vs some people I am only using a like a 4% bluff range in the spot MPvsUTG

I think pre you can go either way but I don't really like the flop raise....in theory if you raise it we gotta call it off i guess especially if he's capable of playing a medium strength range like 88-JJ or JTs,QJs,KQs,AJs like this... but normally at these limits people aren't 4bet jamming here with the draw so folding probably ok. OTF I guess call and be wary of the late positions and hope for like a off suit J or T OTT

remember this guy opened UTG and bet on this texture into 4 people...

very easy preflop 3b. flop raise is bad, you are def isolating yourself against better unless players are dumb

I prefer to 3bet pre, but I have 0% call mp pre, so that might not tell you much. I think flop reraise is especially bad since you're that deep and you don't want to play a difficult hand for your stack here. I can see the temptation with that drawy a board, but he won't be sitting there with two hearts or a straight draw most of the time, since he raised from utg pf. So yes, I think you're isolating yourself against better hands here.
