[Closed] Qq6T

This is really one of those hands that's impossible to judge in a vacuum. It really depends on metagame and personal reads on your opponent to what they call with on flop and turn.

Personally without knowing anything about my opponent here, i'd bet half pot on the flop, check the turn and if he checks behind, on that river, bet full pot.

An individual player gets dealt AA or KK once in every 20 hands. So there is an 81% chance that you have the best hand from all the players who have position on you and a 73% chance you have the best hand including the blinds.

So yes, you should raise preflop if your opponents are straightforward preflop and post flop generally.
It's a profitable hand, but being UTG it's not a mistake for inexperienced players to limp preflop or indeed to fold.
This however would be a hand I raise preflop to 3x bet, which I do with my entire range.

Ok, just thought that AA and KK were good against 1 or 2 opponents (and 2 is pushing it...), let about QQ UTG. I mean, the opponents only need to have 2 pair to have your high pair dominated. Plus as soon you raise UTG, you are pretty much showing your cards to everybody.

But what do i know?.. hehe, i'm just a noob still learning this stuff.

If you're raising UTG with QQxx, you're also doing it with AKQT, AAxx, KKxx, 9955 T987, 7654 etcetc.

If people can put you on QQ after a raise preflop UTG, you're doing something wrong
