You guys always fail to see the other side of the coin. While it is optimal to 3bet QQ here, the OP is most likely to get a fold. It can make sense to keep certain LAGs (but not this player) in the pot by flatting since some of them are likely to hang themselves on your hand.
By thinking so narrowly, many players are highly predictable and exploitable. It is easy to identify your ranges.
I will say one thing, the OP should understand his play is a suboptimal play in the wrong spot against the wrong opponent. I did want to point out however that the advice he is being given isn't exactly accurate. There are a variety of situations in poker that turn a suboptimal play into an optimal play. I was merely pointing one of those out.
3bet bluffing a LAG is fine, but that does not make flatting OOP QQ at a table where your 3bet is likely to be folded to or even playing it passively incorrect in
all situations. You guys should understand that. It isn't debatable.
Saying anything like you should always 3bet QQ here is a mistake. Yes, it is a good idea, but telling someone that they must always do it is wrong. You should understand that.
