- QQ is awful against that range
- He should fold
Now, given that he should be folding QQ based on all of that, maybe it's a tougher decision for her?
Perhaps she is so good she is a level above the other players. Maybe she knows that they should know that she is only raising with KK/AA here while making a speech. Given that villain can only have KK/AA to shove (I include KK because even though you know that you know it is still too hard to fold) then doesn't that mean she has to deeply consider folding KK?
Now let's say villain is playing perfectly and knows that she only has KK/AA doesn't that mean he can only shove AA so he has to fold KK even?
That would make his super level range AA only and thus she would need to fold KK here.
There I solved the equation.
She could be some super poker genius in disguise.
That said... She took too long.
One parting thought. "Can't fold this"
There's one thing you left out which I think may have evoked the call.
When she 3bet, she made an error. "Raise to 125" and then putting in 125. The dealer had to correct her and instructed her to put another 39k (?) in the pot.
We don't know how she handled it. Did she see it as an opportunity to evoke a call with something like "Oh! Do I have to?", as if it was not her intention to risk ~170K .
Or did she immediately grab a stack and push it forward so he could count it out.
That mistake was my first thought. The caller was capitalizing on it, combined with his having a great hand and a much larger stack of course.
The speech was important but I get the feeling she's always yapping which detracts some read-value from it, and those at the table took it for normal behavior by that time..
