Okay i decided to start this blog due to a specific reason.
I lose so much money with Queens that it starts to get absurd

I was running pretty bad lately playing SNG on Party so i decided to go back to cashgame and profit of the Full Tilt Bonus + rakeback

I am playing NL 10 at Full tilt 6 handed 4 tables.
Its pretty cool to see how bad most of the players are
and i think its a nice source of little extra income for me.
making 10$ a day on average in 2 hours = 300$ Month without having to do anything but playing 2h of funny Poker a day vs bad players .

Most players there call down Potsize bets with Midpare till river and then fold to a small river bet

Furthermore they call down Top Pair always and as soon as you have Two Pair or something better you can be almost always sure to get paid off a decent amount of money.

I think FT NL 10 sh is really a decent place to stay when you are a low stakes player.

But the reason i started this topic is my Problem with Queens. I dont know why , but since QQ is the 3rd best Hand in this game i assume they are + EV.
However not for me.

I was up 12$ today having play only 1 hour and i was pretty happy with my results this far.

Then the follwing thing appeared.

NL 10
Me (12$) on the Button : QQ
raises 0.30 to 0.40 $
sb folds
bb calls

Flop 3 5 7 rainbow

BB raises 0.50 $ to 1.45 $
Me : reraises 2 $ to 3.45 $
BB is All in.
Me : calls

BB shows KK
Me shows QQ

Yeha i lost this one -12 $

My Question is can i Fold QQ on a 3 5 7 rainbow flop vs the Big blind ( who didnt reraise with KK preflop) when i know he d even play A5 this way ?

besides that my History of loosing QQ is endless.
the last 3 weeks.
I lost QQ on a KKQ board flop all in vs K9 ( he rivered a 9 )
I lost QQ on a dry board with only undercards vs JJ all in on flop cause he hit a J on the turn.
I lost QQ vs AQ preflop all in in a SNG cause he hit A on turn.

And lots of other stuff.

I think overall i am pretty much breakeven with Queens for the last 20 K hands T_T

Okay ive whined enough about this now

I still belive in them and hope they ll pay me back in the future

It's called variance.

You play NL10 on full tilt ?
You're aware that they rake 10% there ?

Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand.
