View Thread : QQ on button against short stack...should I play this differently??


darko163
A 10-handed table. (micro-limits 0.5/0.10 eurocent)
Villain in first position raises to 40c (still has 1 euro left in stack)
everyone folds to me on the button, I have a stack of 9.70 euro and decide to raise him all in (so raise to 1.40). SB and BB fold.

Flop comes down to 669
Turn is 5
River is K

Villain wins the pot with Ak

I'm certainly not upset about the beat, that happens...but should I just have called and see whether the flop helped? I decided to put him all-in so I took away his options of bluffing me out with an all-in continuation bet. Now I had an extra way of winning the pot (when he folded pre-flop).
I didn't have a good view on his image because it was the fifth or sixth hand I played.

What is your opinion on this??

Against a short stack there's really no reason to take a flop in my opinion. The guy has 10bb behind and you want to find the best way to get all in as fast as possible, which you did.

Hmm, agains range of shortstack bet fom UTG QQ stands not very good. For shortstack strategy its AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK. We are better only against JJ, QQ split, and almost coinflip with AK. With QQ on button against shortstack bet from UTG - fold, but you can reraise him if you have reeds.

Terrible advice. Like everyone else said, get it in, you played it right.

FWIW, even if his range WAS JJ+ and AK, you are 47% against his range. There are zero scenarios in which you should fold QQ pre-flop for 14 BBs in a microstakes game.
