50nl-rush: QQ in 3-way 3bet pot

[tmiby]

this happend on 50NL rush. I've had two thaughts how to play this hand:

1) first I thaugt: damn! nice pot here. but this flop is gonna kill me. I probably c/f! because chances that one of those guys has AK, are unfortunately really big! So I checked...now over to my 2nd thaught...

2) Wow! doesn't surprise me! the guy IP bets half pot. I requested time...why the hell should he bet with ak here?? he will get it in anyway on a later street...I decided that he will do that with AQ, JJ, TT too! So I finally decided to CRAI!

Afterwards I actually like my line. If I cbet, he has the chance to shove easy and giving me a hard time (~maybe~). but the way I played it: I get the benefit of fold equity and I get his bet too! even better.

what do you think?

Line's fine, though generally reads that they are stabby is more helpful, it is just that worse made hands would be as would flush draws.

The main issue is that the chance they have AK is NOT big at all. For one thing, there are 2 kings used up, and they would shove AK preflop a certain amount which removes a lot of combinations from his range.

I would bet-call the flop if I don't have any reads on either of these players. They will shove FDs and smaller PPs often enough to call after a cbet. Actually if CO shoves over your cbet it's a tough spot, because he's shoving 140bb effective stacks against SB... but againts SB shoving over your cbet you should be fistpump-calling.

After you check the flop, the pot is so huge anyway that you can always shove the river, so I'd just check/call twice with QQ and let him valuebet (or bluff) with worse hands. If he doesn't, I'm valueshoving river.

Your 3-bet is far too big imo, but postflop is played good. I don't like raising after you check, though, as there are few worse hands that will call you.

50NL 6max no rush tables, I agree 100%.

But this is actually the thing with rush poker. I sometimes raise 5x pre with strong hands! you get about the same amount of calls like making it 3x. they don't have any reads and interpret a big bet maybe as weakness or they just want to make a hero play at you.
I'm 3betiting on rush tables like that all day long...it's working great for me.
