yes i hear a lot of people do this...they describe villain as loose aggressive and then consider folding the nuts...you just can't do it.....

if you wanna suggest hes not lag then it can be discussed ...but folding qq to a lag is not an option..


ft is still a ways a way....

I'm never folding in this spot, even without a read. If your line involves 3-betting QQ and folding when he shoves, your line should not have involved 3-betting.

That is, you should always have your line planned out in advance (as with chess), and if you decided that you were going to fold to his 4-bet then you would be better off flatting and only 3-betting hands you do not plan on folding to a 4-bet. Of course there are times to 3-bet a value hand but then fold when 4-bet, but they are very rare, and for the time being I would consider it a rule that you should never 3-bet/fold a value hand against the person you are 3-betting.

In a cash game where I am relatively deep stacked (150bb plus) can 3bet fold QQ. For ~100bb it would be really villain dependant. For 75bb or less, the moment I 3bet I have committed my stack to the hand.

Vs a passive villain I can see a fold a good % of the time as we are flipping or behind. But given this villains aggression level, I am never folding here and probably 3betting a higher amount, like 15k.

I read a saying on Two plus Two a long time ago, "3bet fold QQ.....save a buyin"....not saying it is too relevant in this case (as buddy was aggro), but it is in many others.
