QQ facing open shove on flop

edited August 2011 in The Poker Clinic

have shared the table with villain for a while and have been reraising him a lot.  most of the time he has not played back and folds pre (which is why i keep reraising).  in general i am playing very strongly in position and have been 3 betting regularly and opening a wide range.

he is not a regular at these limits but has been playing pretty well and is generally tight.  there has been nothing yet to indicate a spew here but with the image and the history what do we do?

just for extra info i had intended to check behind as he has not led donked out all game

    what do you think we are losing to?

    I reckon his first 3xbb raise suggests he could have KQ perhaps ??

    bit specific, u know which suits too! ? :)

    depends how often u c-bet, what is fold to c-bet % is....i assume he thinks u call this with most of ur range and if u say he seems like he has half a clue i doubt he bets worse than a K here...

    i'd lean toward a fold as i wouldnt give him credit for turning worse pairs into a bluff or going loono with AJ or something. better spots to get ur money in

    i give him Kh9h btw ;-)

    I would snap fold because alot of the time they show the K here from my experience

    He could have any pocket pair he doesnt want you to catch up if he has the king he has played it bad IMO and  then surely he can only turn over AK but would he 4 bet AK pre?? Looking at stack sizes and from the board i would call if he flips a rag king or A7 ul but i think your ahead alot more

    im such a station.  felt that pocket pair was most likely as i couldnt see a reason to shove the king here.
    i rarely ever tank when playing but did this time...just really didnt like this spot

    I play loads of HU sngs and see this alot with that type of hand, like a small pair donk jammin or c/raising all in on paired flops.

    I call with Apic alot, and suck out alot.

    Good call.

    I get confused by play like this and call often too, I just don't see how they shove K or 7 there. Run into the nuts maybe 1/4 times.
  • edited August 2011
    nice call
    reads are probz quite important, what your table image is etc..
    most of the time villain isn't open shoving a K here, probably not a 7 (although I have seen it a few times) .. so you're beating most of his range imo, probz player dependant whether i call
