I did not realize it at first, but I am miles behind all hands that I would have played like the villain who led out with a 6BB bet. I am looking at runner draws against AA and KK and am still way behind QQ and AK, AQ. How much trouble am I in here:

Poker Stars $7.00+$0.70 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t25/t50 Blinds - 9 players - View hand 495364
The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter

UTG: t1100 M = 14.67
UTG+1: t1036 M = 13.81
UTG+2: t1505 M = 20.07
MP1: t2103 M = 28.04
MP2: t2165 M = 28.87
CO: t1470 M = 19.60
BTN: t1615 M = 21.53
SB: t1725 M = 23
Hero (BB): t1429 M = 19.05

Pre Flop: (t75) Hero is BB with Q

3 folds, MP1 raises to t200, 4 folds, Hero calls t150

Flop: (t425) K

(2 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets t399

Fold pre, your not deep enough to profitably flat oop with KQo. But since you called and flopped two pair, I'd have a real tough time getting away from the hand....but ya you are definitely in trouble against his range.

Fold pre. That's really the biggest problem in this hand, and it often is.

As for post, I dunno, now that we're here, go ahead and press some buttons and see what happens. Doubt I ever c/f this flop with 2-pair. Probably just check/jam, villain has like 800 chips left in effective stacks. You're committing, and I doubt it really matters what you do now.

I would also like to add that yes we are dominated if villains range is top 5 hands only. IMO I think that is a great underestimate as we need to add at least 1010-JJ and any Axsuited hand at least. Maybe even more than this. I would suggest 99-88, the nuts or our same hand be added as well probably.

What he said.

Don't cold call KQ preflop with such a short stack. Don't compound that error by flopping two pair then folding.

Cold call? That wasn't a cold call. A cold call is this..

Calling (but not raising) when faced with more than one bet in a single action.
If one opponent bets, and another raises, and you call, you have cold called.
