Hey everyone!

Just started doing a bankroll challenge and found a weird spot at $0.01/$0.02 full ring on wsop.

UTG +1 has a $2.06 stack and opens to .11
Folds to the Button ($1.93) who calls .11
SB ($1.17) calls .11 as well
I am in the BB with a $2 stack with QQ and raise it to .36

UTG +1 moves all for $2.06 total
Button Folds
SB moves all in for less for $1.17 total
It’s $1.70 for me to call.

No real reads, other than 4-Bets and all-ins were pretty rare. No one really seemed to be getting out of line. Lots of open limping.

For what it’s worth, I ended up folding thinking one of them had to have AA or KK.

Turns out UTG+1 has AA and SB had J9o.

Board ran 2 K A 3 7.

Was this a good fold or a nit fold? I was 50/50 on my decision for the longest time.

I just plugged those hands into a poker calculator and you had about 16% equity. Ironically you do even better if one opp had AA and another had AK (18%).

The pot has $3.64, I think. You need to call for your last $1.70. So that's about 2-1 odds or a little more, 2.1-1. Knowing what the hands are, the odds aren't good enough.

Of course you didn't know it was AA and J9 at the time. If you plug in a range of AA, KK, JJ, TT, AKs, AQs, AKo then your Queens actually have a slight advantage.

I agree with you though, that based upon the action it sure is likely that one of the opponents has you beat. I think it was a good, disciplined fold. No reason to get involved in a multiway race in which you may have the worst end of. This isn't a rebuy tournament, this is a cash game.

I may get all in pre-flop with Queens from time to time but usually I am the one pushing the action, not calling someone else's pre-flop all-in, exceptions for tilted maniacs and short stackers.

If you're playing on wsop, probably start the br challenge at nl10. Short-term variance at nl2 here is insane.

Considering that you're at nl2 on wsop specifically, QQ is pretty much a fist-pump jam pre. Less so at nl10 vs multiple opponents, but still occasionally. I started a br challenge a few weeks ago, the nl2 crowd will jam pre all the way down to AJs, and sometimes goofy hands outside that.

That being said, if you're dead set on keeping the challenge at nl2, you're going to need to develop a bunch of discipline folding post. They're going to hit all kinds of gutters. Not because it's rigged, but because that's what happens when you call all the time.
