Ok, this is my first post here, so, hi guys (and girls)..

here is the hand:

$0.01/$0.02 No-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Known players:
CO = ($5.49)
BU = ($5.55)
SB = ($4.16)
BB = ($0.50)
MP2 = ($1.47)
MP3 (Hero) = ($3.13)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q, Q.
MP2 folds, Hero raises to $0.08, CO folds, BU raises to $0.27, 2 folds, Hero raises to $0.60, BU raises to $5.55, Hero calls $2.53.

Flop: ($8.71) Q, 7, 9 (2 players)

Turn: ($8.71) 7 (2 players)

River: ($8.71) A (2 players)

Final Pot: $8.71.

villain was 16/10 and 7% 3-bet over 165 hands.

BB and SB are very loose donks and i was 3-betting at them alot, so I tought he could shove JJ+, AQs.

It is all wrong to call this shove against a player that tight, even when the table in general is very loose?

PS: Im brazilian, so my english is not very good. Anyway im posting in here cuz im moving to Australia in one month and I want to improove my english a little.

hi and welcome here.

I'm normally folding vs a 3 b of a tight player with QQ.

I think i had called cause you don't have the implied odds and are maybe behind.

Thanks for the reply Edy999.

Looking at his stats now, i see he would be calling almost always with JJ or AQ in the button, so no value 4-betting with QQ.


Hi,

Considering it's HJvsBU and villain seems to have a sorta wide 3-betting range for a 16/10 I don't really mind the 4-bet/calloff, he's probably 3-betting light sometimes so he'll just 3-bet/fold a bunch of hands, which gives you money instantly. Now with only 165 hands and a little more than 100bb effective it's hard to say whether it wins you enough dead money to warrant you going broke against what is undoubtedly a value range like KK+, but I don't think it's awful by any means unless his 7% 3-bet is a just a statistical fluke.

In general you should heed edi9999's advice and play QQ relatively slowly against tight players, as they won't go broke with AK/QQ themselves in most situations so when you go broke preflop you'll run into KK+ very often.

Hope it helps.
