Titan Poker Subdue 0.05/0.10, hand converted by the iPoker Converter at Talking-Poker

saw flop | saw showdown

Button Villain ($2.27)
SB ($2.04)
BB ($1)
UTG ($1.81)
UTG+1 ($1.60)
MP Hero ($3.85)
MP ($2.13)
MP ($7.01)
CO-1 ($2.05)
CO ($6.10)

Preflop: Hero is in MP with Q :heart: Q :spade:

I folded this hand since my stack was >25BB.
Was the hand playable from middle position, since usually if we want to be rather cautious we only play AA,KK with stacks >25BB ???

it depends on how good you think you can play postflop... personally i would never fold QQ first in from mp with less than 40bb

but if you don´t want to risk your double stack it´s fine... no need to take any risks at nl10

Well, your risk tolerance and postflop skills matter a lot here. I would play QQ from any position with any stack, of course) But take your time if you feel uncomfortable with that at the moment...
