QQ v's an Ace on the flop and facing a massive stack

[jimmer]

First hand after moving to a new table. No info on anyone.

I'm guessing fejalicy1 could have a good hand, or could simply be throwing his weight around.

If i bet and he re-raises, I need to fold, if I check and he bets......I need to fold. I'm stuffed.

sidepot = play straightforward

sidepot = play straightforward

What do you mean by play straightforward?

[HalfSugar]

Try and check it down, fold to a bet.

[miaowmiaowchowface]

yup

[jimmer]

jbdb3: checks
fejalicy1: bets 450
jbdb3: folds

So we are happy with my play right?

[HalfSugar]

Yup, no point getting stacked by some shit AX hand, especially as fejalicy1 has a big stack and that is right in his range.

.....jbdb3: checks
fejalicy1: bets 450
jbdb3: folds

You win some, you lose some.

The result is irrelevant to be honest. You'd be wrong way more often calling here.

No probs, I'm happy I 'theoretically made the right play'.

Im sure I often 'theoretically' make the wrong play and still win, so I'm sure it goes in round-a-bouts.
