Cash game - QQ pre-flop
Santino67:
How much did you start with Daniel? I"d be tempted to re-raise as it"s only KK or AA that"s beating you. If the SB has either then he"s definitely calling or going over the top but the other muppets will surely get scared off if they even have half a piece of grey matter in their skulls.

I sat down with £200, but there"s no cap on the max sit down at the table.

What range do you think he could have, considering that he"s a tight player and knows there are some maniacs still to act (and me of course)?
AMRN:
If the guy suspects that the LAGs after him are likely to give him action, and if as you say he is tight and knows his game yet still prepared to play this hand heavily, then you gotta think he has a monster..... perhaps prudence is best here and a fold is in order.

If you re-raise and he comes over the top then you throw the Queens away. If he calls then chances are he"s playing with AK imo. He may well still be playing KK or AA but calling pre-flop would only encourage a muppet show post flop so better to get this guy 1 to 1. The only alternative is throw it away pre-flop...........but 3rd best starting hand in a cash game when you"re already £160 in profit????? I"d be re-raising him in a heartbeat coz he"s almost certainly by now also identified, with any decent hand, that there"s money to be had from the fish on the table. He may well be raising pre-flop with that in mind.

SB has 4 guys to act behind him with £31 in the pot already so the £60 is a massive overbet. Given that it"s been passed round to him with you (tight?) and three LAGs yet to act, I"m thinking he has a marginal hand that he wants to take the pot down there and then to save him having to play it out of position - anything from AQ and better.
I"d be tempted to raise it up to around £140 to get more information in that no one holding less than KK and AA will have the right / balls to call. It would be a loose and probably uncharacteristic re-raise by you and it may be giving your hand away as if you held KK or AA yourself, you"d prob flat call and want to see him make a standard 3/4 pot continuation bet (£100ish) on the flop.
It"s v likely you"ve got at least £140 goin in on this hand if you do decide to play it at all. Pushin that £140 in OTT pre-flop WILL get respect and if he calls or re-raises, yeah, he has you beat, you have all the info you need and can fold leaving yourself £220 left to play with.
That"s how I"d be looking at it anyway. I"m a donk tho!
