Hello guys,
I recently started using my free bankroll from PS. However I find myself in quite difficult situations from time to time with high pocket cards, such as QQ for example.

What happens is the following:
10 handed $0.05/$0.10 NL Holdem - playing the SSS.

Im am out of possition Early Middle P, with stack $1.80, but I raise to 4 BB coz there are no limpers so far. Everybody fold except for the button (whose stack is $8). He calls.
Flop comes out - AT2.
It's my turn again. So in most cases what happens is I C-bet in order to win the pot, but you see....the button calls me. So 1st question is ... am I supposed to go all in on the turn or just check fold?
OR
If I check on the flop because of the overcard (the Ace), I'll most probably get raised, so this is not the best thing to do.

I'm really puzzled by these situations as it's quite hard for me to read ppl yet. Other than that I follow the strategy ok, while limping medium hands sometimes, but still, when I flop an overcards I go like :(

So I'll be waiting for your replies.
Thanx in advance!

P.S. Where can I find the Odds/Outs tables ?

Hi Trbst!

Welcome to PokerStrategy! The ace on the board is as scary for you as it is for your opponent because you raised preflop and it is very likely that you are holding an ace. Since the pot is almost $1 on the flop and you have only $1.40 left in your stack I would simply push all-in on the flop.

Concerning your odds&outs question: You can find the odds&outs article including the chart in this silver-article: http://www.pokerstrategy.com/strategy/no-limit/17/

Good luck at the tables!

Since he's bronze, he can't read silver articles.

This bronze fixed limit contents has a similar article though:

what about the colorful table that gives you the odds and outs - is it the same for NL games ?

yes, odds and outs calculations are exactly the same no matter which of the variants you choose - it's simply math
