QQ 3bet pot

1. First QQ hand:

Bet smaller on the flop. Once you beet like 1/3 up to 1/2 size on the flop you can see what the players behind would do. I would stack off vs Mp3 player as he looks rather fishy flatting this 3bet and being a non full stack. If UTG reshoves after that - i think you have an easy fold. Now you look pot comitted and you just have to call after you smashed this flop with a pot sized bet. the thing is UTG has in his range AA and KK (keeping the fish in the hand), he has all type of A♦:Q♦: A♦:K♦: A♦:J♦: A♦:T♦: K♦:Q♦: which you are slightly behind/flipping against and he also has all the sets having the correct price preflop to call. Basically UTG range crushes you.

2. Ak hand:

Not sure why you dont 4bet a normal size but chose to directly push. What hands the you beat that he calls with? Do you think he calls AQ ? I dont think so. Make a normal 4bet and play postflop if he calls. If he shoves - call. The result of this hand would have been the same anyway but when you directly 4bet push - you dont leave him any room to make a mistake.

OOP 4bet i do not like this. If the flop is not comes ace or king or flush draw i have to give up. And i check oop, ip 4bet call almost always bet. So i lost 25BB for a nothing. I don't know +ev AKs 4bet raise 25BB, especially if villain rarely fold 4bet pre flop. Cold 4bet oop better play push all in, QQ++, AKo+, or not? 4bet oop with KK and oop comes ace what should i play? Check/call and give up to weak and almost i pot commited, bet/fold too.

1) QQ preflop is a call against UTG or 3bb+. Against a min or the 3-bet is ok imo. On the flop i like a smaller sizing too, cause with this betsize you cant virtually b/f, which means you cant bluff.

2) It think the call with 33 in the QQ hand is pretty standard. He closes the action and we ve an overcaller. So I dont see, how this may effect his range in this spot. I think a small 4 bet size is way better. I think call is not superbad, but the 4bet is much better.

Imo the problem with both hands is, that you voluntarily limit your possible actions. Its easier to push and prey in hand nr. 2. And its easier to bet so big that u dont ve another decision on the flop (or the turn) in the QQ hand.

But on the other hand you make it rly easy for v. to react and you cant react accordingly to stronger hands. (B/f flop in Hand 1) and B/f pre in Hand 2)).

When i call pre flop 33 in 3bet mwp and hit the set and of course i lost, board 3-6-7? someones wrote my call definetly bad. But if villain call 33 is good oop. I do not understand.

Maybe you should try to understand? I wrote it is an easy call with 33 cause of the overcaller. This is a) we get pretty good pot odds; b) the ranges of the 3 bettor and the overcaller are pretty strong, so massiv implied, when we hit a set (which you can see in then given hand). He stacks both of you cause you overplay your op.

+1

It suckes when your best hands getting beat or you dont win a flip, but in both cases you still made couple mistakes.
You could lose less, maybe even in 2nd hand. Money saved is money earned.

Yes, 2 hand i made a mistake, but same villain and last hand, when i had got queens, he could able call 11BB with 33, so i thinked maybe he got AQ or AJ, maybe AK and we tie or A2s-A5s.
