5NL- 3bet pot, QQ vs 3x raise on the flop

Hi dragobeteeee,

Preflop: looks fine

Postflop: I think you played it fine because usually people slowplay those big hands. I'm surprised, as you were, to see 77 there and I think he made a mistake raising that big, or even raising to begin with.

I think he won't make a mistake if he had made reads on your - for instance, some people 3-bet 0.45 with weaker hands, some put 0.50 with stronger part of their range. If he has a read that you cbet over 1/2 of pot when you have a hand in 3-bet pot, then I would definitely raise you and try to get you all-in ASAP to prevent any scare cards (if you have a hand like JJ, there could come Q/K/A that kills the action). SO in that way his play makes sense.

+1 to this. I scarcely believe, that a probably decent 26/23 player hasn't grasped a thing about your play after 300 hands so it's possible, that his raise OTF is for value. Some notes would be welcome her as well.
