Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.08/$0.16 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Known players:
[tg]UTG1 (Hero)$25.73:///////;UTG2$16.40:///////;MP1$15.48:///////;MP2$19.14:///////;MP3$17.28:///////;CO$18.25:///////;BU$16.00:///////;SB$6.97:///////;BB$7.69:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is UTG1 with Q:h, Q:s.
Hero raises to $0.40, UTG2 folds, MP1 calls $0.40, MP2 raises to $1.76, 5 folds, Hero raises to $4.00, MP1 folds, MP2 raises to $19.14

Villain as a high rate of 3bet (11%) over a small sample though (100 hands). What should Hero do, call or fold?

the quick answer would be something like "snapcall LOL!"

the long answer is... no long answer, i'm sleepy. :f_confused:
what do you expect him to be 3betting? do you think he continues with worse against the 4bet? does he look fishy?
and i suppose that "11%" means 1/9, which might be 2/10 with this hand... doesn't tell us that much.

anyway -> usually if you 4bet with queens it should be under the assumption that the opponent will continue with worse and stack off with at least QQ+, AK. 4bet/folding spots are pretty rare (you need to know that he 3bets wide, calls 4bets wide and only 5bets KK+)
if villain seems like a standard reg then 4betting is a mistake as, given positions, you'll often isolate yourself against KK+.

Hey SkamanVN,

We should probably just call here and hope MP1 overcalls. 4bet/calling is likely going to be non-profitable given the positions involved.

Once we do actually 4bet we should probably call it off, but we are expecting to have an equity disadvantage and only do it because of the overlay.
