Hand 2 w/ QQ
Sorry @Binkley , I’m not doing this again.
Hand 3 w/ AQss
I would raise this a large portion of the time. If the button is competent, this looks like a possible squeeze play after seeing a small raise and 1 caller, by 3-betting to $3.00, he/she is forcing everyone behind to play honestly and likely will take down the pot. AQss is above average for this range. You don’t want to be called by AA or AK because they hands have you crushed. KK and QQ still offer you a chance to get ahead assuming that the HJ or CO didn’t muck an ace.
My plan would be to 4-bet to $8-$9 or about 1/4 of your stack. This doesn’t commit you to the pot if things don’t go as planned. If you 4-bet larger, you will increase your fold equity but you also invest a bigger piece of your next bet. If you 4-bet smaller, you offer good pot odds to an opponent who has position on you.
