I think to date this has been my main weakness preflop both with QQ and similarly with AK.

10th hand at the table and knew very little about CO. Had a sense he was playing tight though.
Lesson material advises reraising with QQ but to fold to any further raises. Essentially the same thing with AK ( and I have made similar mistakes with AK too). ANd similarly if you originally raised with QQ/AK to fold to a 3Bet. Presumably the rationale for this is that a high proportion of 3betters will only do so with AA-KK so the chances of coming up against these all in would be very high and these two hands lose significantly (80-90% or more) when that is the case. Have I got that right ( at last!)?
