...oh, how should I play this, Holy Judge???

Or there's simpler answer: bad luck???

Can U tell me if time has come for me to learn when to lay down QQ, KK?

(I think my QQ's screamed to me to lay them down, but mathematician in my left side of the brain didn' t listen.)

Reraise preflop.. Really bad trying to slow play here...

and we are obviously going broke with QQ preflop here.. everything else would be blasphemy..

and there are no situations in MTT's where you should fold KK preflop.. and rarely spots where you should fold QQ...

First of all: thats a setup, no way you can fold QQ there.

Whats the idea when you flatcall with a monster? Either you try not to chase away worse hands or you try to induce a squeeze or get other players in the hand.
Either way you make your hand look weak to get more action. Now exactely that has happened: you got action, which is just what you intended with your preflop play.
So folding can never be an option there.

If u would have raised the UTG raiser and got a cold4bet behind, this would have been scary. But still a laydown was not really an opportunity in a 0+0,1$ game.
