Message: [QUOTE="NineLions, post: 513478, member: 13483"] In a cash I game I find QQ pretty hard to fold preflop, unless there's a raise, re-raise, and a re-re-raise, or, someone goes crazy and repops a huge amount. In a tournament it might be a different matter since survival is key, but here, you're right, I'm afraid of KK or AA with the raise, but I'm not going to lay it down yet. He, like me, couldn't have failed to notice that UTG was loose so both of us are probably thinking he might have any semi-decent hand, rather than giving him full UTG-raise credit, which in turn, lowers the range of what MP might be reraising with. A more aggressive player than me might have repopped preflop with QQ to define my own hand, and if I had AA or KK I would have but with QQ I'm only ahead of JJ, TT, and maybe racing AK or AQ. I don't think he's re-raising with 99, but that's only my guess at the time. [/QUOTE]
