Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6887579, member: 397965"] First of all when you play stakes like these, you really should take advantage of the fact, PokerStars allow trackers (HUDs). The purchasing fee for PT4 is basically only 3 buyins at 30NL, and after that its 1 buyin a year to achieve updates and support. This will quickly pay itself back, if you play with any sort of regularity. I am saying this, because some more information about the opponent would have been very valuable, especially when he chose an unusual open size like 5X. If this is someone with maniac stats like 47/34, then I will approach the situation very different than, if he is a TAG playing 19/16. Preflop First of all QQ is not always a 3-bet in this configuration, although I would guess, that against regular sizing like 2,5BB, solvers would mostly 3-bet this hand. However as an open size gets larger, you are supposed to 3-bet less and call more, since the blinds are already getting a bad price to defend, and the opponent is supposed to be on a stronger range. It sounds like, you believe his range is capped (AA or KK would want more action), and that might be the case. But you probably dont have any real knowledge about this, so flatting should at least be considered. It kind of sucks to get 4-bet, especially when you are this deep, and your 3-bet has to be large, because his open is large. But ok you 3-bet, and I can kind of get on board with that. You just need to have a plan in advance for, what you are going to do facing a 4-bet. And to be honest the plan is probably to fold, unless he is a maniac. In that case I would be willing to get it in pre against his range with QQ. Even 150BB deep. But against other players I would not. Flop You can certainly C-bet here, but I dont see any reason to go almost full pot. If he has AK and has missed (which is quite likely), then a much smaller bet is enough to get him to fold out his 25% equity. Or even better he call drawing to just 6 outs. When you bomb it like this, you pretty much only get action from JJ and hands, that beat you or have huge equity like AX of spades. Turn Given what I just wrote, you cant even bet for value, when you went so large on the flop. So as played this is a check back and then make a decision on the river. On a Q or a non-spade T or lower, you can bluff-catch, if he bet or bet for value if checked to. But stacks are very awkward, because you bet so much on the flop. If you had bet less, you would have much more room to bet for instance 40% pot on the river and still fold to a check-jam. Conclusion Without even looking at the results: Yes you overplayed QQ.
