Haven't done this in a while, but I'll give it a shot.

No, you're mixing V's 3bet range vs V's calling range.

Obviously if I think V's 3bet range is KK+ and fraction of AK, I am folding QQ all day.

And your guess of my logic was actually quite off, because we are merely 56% favorite vs AK and really behind against KK+, so nowhere in my rationale of stacking off had anything to do with QQ being favorite vs AK.

Range, range, and range.

That's basically the same thing as the bold part that you quoted.

That is not what I said at all. You're mixing up ranges, V's 3bet and his 4bet calling range, and you won't be able to follow my logic until those 2 are clear.

AK still has tons of equity against QQ even if he doesn't flop A or K, and given that this pot was 3bet pre, folding out AK is not a bad thing.

As for hands that are way behind us, obviously we want them to call, but given our available choices preflop, this is an acceptable result. You have to understand that our flop decision is an extension of our choices preflop.

Obviously, isn't it? Clearly the toughest part is seeing A or K on the flop, but it is what it is. Again, if you can make better decision(s) preflop than 4bet shove or 3bet call with QQ, let's hear it.

How would I know? You're going beyond scope of the discussion into specific reads, something none of us would know, unless you are playing yourself.

Yes! Ol' Man Coffee is listed on the website, I just didn't put 1+1 together.

I think my going on and on became confusing. What I meant was:
If PF you OR, OMC 3-bets, you have a few choices:

1. Call & shove any flop, since you can put him on a "3! raising range"
2. You can 4! & if OMC calls, you can tighten up his range from his 3! raise range. Now you can proceed more cautiously on the flop.

I think I also confused things in that OMC is in EP & you're last to act in the scenario given. I also forgot that the scenario involved short stacks of ~$200 each.
My bad all around for confusing things.
