Facing a Re-Raise on SB position - What's Your Move?!?!

MCflip73MCflip73
in Analyze My Hand
Cash Game 3-6 blinds..., 8 handed..., 2nd last hand of the evening.

You are on the button..., folded around to you..., you look down to see the red ladies..., you raise the blinds to $15 (2.5x)..., SB re-raises you another $19..., you are equal in chips at $125 each..., My play: I am always re-raising here if holding any of the top three pairs being AA-KK-QQ, so I re-raised SB another $40.00!

Note that SB held the chip lead most of the night..., has been playing conservatively and relatively tight since taking the chip advantage

Am I overvaluing my QQs here?!?!? Should I be considering another play perhaps?!?! What's the right play here on the QQs if facing a re-raise from SB position with relatively TAG image?!?! Call/Raise/Fold?!?!

    So you makes it $15, he makes it $34, and you make it $74?

    And seriously? 3-6NL with $125 only?

    Unless everyone is short-stacked, your initial raise is too little. At a typical cash game, raising 2.5x will get everyone to call, which isn't ideal as your chances of getting outdrawn become very high. Since you're so short-stacked, I'd probably never fold QQ preflop w/ $125 where the big blind is $6 (21 BBs). Just from reading your post though, it does sound like you may be overvaluing QQ in general (though not in this case when you only have $125).

    My thoughts exactly.

    Most $1/2 games are deeper than that.

    Are we missing something ?

    low limit cash game with $20 buy-in..., escalating blinds starting off at $0.25/$0.50...

    Interesting sounds fun. You guys play until somebody has all the $? So its pretty much a tourney. with 21bbs left I'm 4bet shoving.

    On the last hands of the evening people will play with a deuce and a cut card ... and raise with a napkin and a 3, 3 bet with 4 high and 4 bet with 7 rag.... 5 bet with any 10, 6 bet with a Jack...

    Not really but you get the idea... But why re-raise so small... that's highly suspicious and makes little sense.

    With such a short stack, shoving makes the most sense. An no, you are not overvaluing QQ here. When folded to the button, you can raise with a very wide range. And SB can re-raise you with a pretty wide range as well since he knows you don't need a hand to raise in this situation. An your shove over his 3bet really looks like a resteal so he should call with a good hand.

    If I knew how SB played, I might just call his re-raise pf. I know many players that would shove any flop and it is likely a higher EV for me to flat call pf and call his shove. I would need to know SB very well though.

    However, when you complicate your play, you are at a greater risk of making a mistake. Shoving in this scenario pf is probably the right move and takes away chances of making a mistake later on.
