hm. call that, see a flop like 3 6 10. What will you do? AA is gonna check or raise a bit, you sit on your Overpair and do what? Call? No, youre gonna raise, he'll push and you'll call. For me QQ is allin in 90% of all cases

lol, I think I would lose the least about of money if I call and ace and king come on flop lol. I wouldn't fold QQ unless was a bigger raise. Best case scenario, I call and hit a queen and double up. I think if I had a poker tracker or something I could track his history than that would make the decision easier too. And ya, I'll make a quiz next time

9 person sng. Just started too..I would often do the same play from UTG with kings or aces and lots of people raise to 120 with aces or kings so I don't know if it was a good play.

I'm assuming no prior information about the villain????
raising>all-in>calling>folding.
Just repop it up to like 380. This is easily the best option. You will get called by worse. I'm always calling a shove over this as well. You will likely be good against their range.
Shovings OK too, but probably narrows villains range for getting it in.
Calling is brutal. You will be oop multiway. You're going to end up folding the best hand lots, and also you may find it difficult to get all your chips in the middle when you want to.

No info, like 2nd or 3rd hand in. So you would repop it than call all in? What happens if UTG calls and a king comes on flop. Do you fold or check call or bet fold? Or fold to any king or ace on flop. It's really tough to play this hand..I think I should sharkscope him real quick next time lol..I Should get sone poker tracker software to see if they're a fish.

I only think the trackers that collect info about players you are playing at the moment or have played before is legal. There are tracker software where you pay a monthly fee so you get acces to the data their huge computers track all day at allmost every poker site so when you sit at a table/tourney you got complete precise stats on everybody like you had played them the last 2 years. These programs gives an extreme advantage if you know how to use the data and I personally think it's pretty uncool to play against a guy I never met before but he knows everything, how often I defend my blind, raise pre, river aggres etc etc.
I meen the legal trackers can't help you 3rd hand in a tourney unless you have played the guy before

If it was me in that Situation i would made a simple click raise, thats allways a good way to read your opponent. Since he probaly would go all In, which gives u the idea of what he haves. But then again its a difficult hand to get out of, especialy since its only a 5 dollar game, thats where people thinks AJ AQ AK are the BEST hands. Thats why u should play atleast 30 dollar games.

i would have deffenetly just checked and seen the flop and at that point if u do think he has high pockets, he might be scared off by a possible flush or straight maybe full house etc. bluff him out

Posted by GeneYuss: Ya, I know M3turbo. I'm looking for a program like sharkscope...Just to see a few basic stats..Not sure if sharkscope is banned.
I think sharkscope is legal to use but it doesn't show how people play only their results. Maybe it says fish/super fish/rock but it doesn't give any usefull info besides you can see if he's a winning player and what level he's playing at normally.

PokerTracker is most definitely not illegal. If you are considering taking poker even semi-seriously I would consider you a fool if you don't get either it or Hold'em Manager. For S'n'Gs just sharkscope all the other guys really quick and see if they're good or bad.
Yeah I'd usually repop and call a shove, unless I know the guy is pretty tight/quite good.
If UTG just calls, and either an A or a K flop, I'm not betting. I will check here the vast majority of the time. I will usually check/call the flop and fold to further aggression, or if the flop is checked through I may try to get thin value on the turn or river, again folding to much aggression.

I totally agree with you tommygunne, but here we actualy know opponent has got AA which makes it a trouble hand. Prob is if he only calls pre and no K or A hit the flop he will mostly likely lose a big pot/stack.....but I guess there is no way around this

you should never fold QQ because in internet poker people are so bad players and usually you are a big leader in preflop with your pair of queens so DONT FOLD
