    Got to raise that pre. You're not hu with the villain trying to provoke action, there's 3 others you're offering a cheap flop to as well.

    Very well played bud.  Yes QQ is a raise 95% of the time.  You mixed it up and got the shove you thought you might.  I occasionally limp big pairs - just gotta have the discipline to fold if nobody raises behind ya and the board or betting suggests you are beat.  When you have someone who almost always raises their button it is a nice tactic.  Usually this person knows what they are doing and folds to my reraise but you do normally get a fish who calls the 1st raise and cant resist coming along because they already have some money in the pot.

    If ya know someone behind ya has a good chance of raising then its a good play and on this scenario you got what you were after

    IF YA PLAY WELL POST FLOP AND HAVE GOOD READS ON PEOPLE THEN IT CAN BE PROFITABLE.  IF YOU ARE AN ABC TYPE PLAYER I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND EVER EVER EVER
