I hit the 3% once. I had pockets queens, another player had pocket aces, after the preflop raises a queen came on the flop and I was able to take it down.

Love pocket Queens. Especially when I hit a set on the flop with a community Ace or King shown.

I really Love this series James. it is easy to understand and I am referring a lot of my non native english speaking fish and whales to these vids when they ask me too many questions... I really think you are providing an excellent and easily understood explanation for these common hands and the spots that you can be found in. Keep up the great work!!!

@@ThePokerBankyeah. I only like to play with crazy fish who literally go all in with like 74o, so I usually play both QQ and JJ, as well as TT, and sometimes even middle pairs very aggressively. And against a random hand the top 10 premium hands are: AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, 99, 88, AKs, 77, AQs I think. s means only if AK and AQ are suited ofc

How does an Axx/Kxx board have 34% chance of happening when those cards represent 16% of the remaining deck (8/50 given you hold 2 Qs)?
@jpittnerjjs11 ай бұрын
Flop is 3 cards. 16% for one card but having 3 come out at once changes the odds significantly
@ThePokerBank11 ай бұрын
Because a flop has 3 cards, not just one.

4:14 “when the board comes ace high with no queen the solver tends to like checking behind when in position and calling at least one bet when out of position” That would be my typical response. Betting an A high board with QQ seems bad, but just check-folding with QQ seems too weak.
@bigcrescendo11 ай бұрын
Why does GTO lean towards just calling in a full ring setting? I feel like QQ is an easy 4 bet a majority of the time

2/5 NLH live Cherokee Harrah's NC 3am, villain's 2nd hand at the table (him and 2 others came over from another table that just broke). As Villain comes to table, they see me fold AK offsuit to a shove 200bb deep. In that previous hand I was up against QQ. This is important because conversation about folding AKo and not wanting to flip at best was had and Villain was laughing and saying he would have snap called and has called with worse. Two hands later, Villain raises from MP to $30, next player folds, I 3-bet to $110. Folds around to Villain who talks about how if the guy who folded AKo was 3-betting him it must be a monster. 4-bets to $275. I shoved with the QQ, he snap called with rockets. I shoved because I figured if I call I am going to get bluffed off any A or K. I figured I was slightly ahead of AK, and he could be doing this with JJ, 10s. As I type this, I feel like I should have folded to the 4 bet and not 5 bet shoved, but I felt like because of the backstory it was a good spot for an aggressive player to push me off a hand. Was this a fold? Do you ever fold QQ 200bb deep at 2/5 live against a loose aggressive player?

splitsuit i have a particular question and problem. Where I live, though I've been playing live poker, I get the feel that I´m not walking around safe places to profit. I.e., other players that are dangerous may get upset at me for winning, and casinos themselves from what I can tell may be uncomfortable with professional players and see them (me) as undesirable clients that push away whales. In other words, overall poker is less accepted and protected as a fair sport. I unfortunately do not have other means of income atm.
@ThePokerBank11 ай бұрын
There are plenty of other options in terms of income potential. If you don't feel (or actually are not) safe, then live poker won't work imo.

Pocket queens used to be my biggest losing hand, back when I still played on Stars a lot and used my Hold Em Manager 2. But I sucked a lot back then. I recently rewatched a few hands, I sceeen recorded. You would laugh your ass off, if I showed those to you today... 🤭 Nowadays I have no fucking clue. I have no functioning pc and thus no analysis software. But I'm pretty confident that Q,Q is NOT a losing hand for me any longer, let alone the biggest one....😅

I've been stacked several times with pocket queens. In my opinion, pocket queens is not an all-in hand! Most times I have them there is an overcard on the flop and I'm beaten by KK or AA. Knowing when to fold them is vital. I've started treating them like middle pairs, I'm set mining, and only betting aggressively when there are undercards on the flop, which is how I would play 8's or 10's.
@ThePokerBank11 ай бұрын
I don't recommend that, but to each their own =)
@user-ps1cq1db9n11 ай бұрын
Preflop 3-bet, 4-bet, and squeezing with QQ is standard. If you're not 3-betting QQ then what are you 3-betting? Exactly AA or KK. That's way too tight of a 3-bet range and you're leaving a very profitable move on the table by excluding QQ from your 3-bet range (you should also add 99, TT, JJ, AK, AQ, and even more from the button). It's just too nitty and you'll never get to 3-bet bluff. Ok so they called your 3-bet. Good news: they CALLED not RAISED (4-bet) so you can almost eliminate AA and KK from their range. On the flop the dreaded over card hits. Yuk, I get it. But let's think about this. If they only called pre then THEY become the set miners and all those under pairs in the hole are crushed by QQ. Their smaller pairs flop sets 12%... ok. Also, unpaired hole cards hit the flop with 1 pair 32%. So with Ax or Kx hands the x portion is crushed by QQ and the A or K portion only hits 16%... ok. So their are a lot of hands (combos) that call your 3-bet pre but are still beat on the flop. Does the flopped over card stink? Yes! Do you play the rest of the hand on your belly and your head on a swivel? Yes:))
@scubasteve438411 ай бұрын
@@user-ps1cq1db9n I do 3-bet QQ and all those hands you have mentioned. But on the low stakes cash table, if anyone is calling your 3-bet, they generally have an A or a K in their hand, so when the flop comes with an A or a K, I'm usually beat. And on the few occasions where I have continued calling bets down to the river, I get the bad news at showdown.
