[Closed] 11$ TT on the bubble

Why not coldcall flop? It's starting to look like a way ahead/way behind situation on this flop (and there's a big chance he has a worse pocket pair).

re-raising does let you find out "where you are" in this hand, so after he called that re-raise I'm done with this hand.

So I would coldcall flop, potcontrol turn (call/check behind/fold when he bets big) and re-evaluate river.

As played turn and river look good.

I don't really like the coldcall, you would have to fold to a turnbet then... Imo, best line here is to push the flop. If he has a J, so be it, QQ+ is not in his range imo.

QQ+ isn't really in his range here, but that's just another reason to call on flop ^^

Allow him to bet turn with a worse hand then yours, board isn't drawy anyway.

edit: you're too deep to shove on flop aswell imo, shoving means:

- winning a small-decent pot (he folds)

OR

- bubbling out (he calls => has you crushed)

Risk/reward is terrible ^^

If you just call on the flop you can't call on the turn and river imo, way too expensive and you let him draw to a better hand cheap. Why shove? Since a normal raise (mine was way too smal) commits you to the pot imo.

Btw, this was not my original thought process :), discussed it with a semipro last night. He said, just play it like you would play it with QQ+.

board is dry, not really afraid of overcard draws since you're IP and can still potcontrol on turn. If he makes a big bet on turn I'm just giving up, no need to get in a marginal spot at this stage. The bubble makes the risk/reward alot worse.

BTW: play it like you play QQ = going broke with it?

This. Except we can also find out where we are in the hand by calling and seeing what villain does on the turn.

As played when someone bet/calls your raise on the bubble I think he pretty much always has you resolutely crushed. So I fold.

FYI how I play QQ+ here: call flop, reevaluate turn :).
