PokerStars - $0.25 NL - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

MP: $17.63
CO: $25.00
BTN: $18.65
SB: $28.43
Hero (BB): $46.26
UTG: $34.32

Villain is 16/8 after 129 hands so not reckless.

SB posts SB $0.10, Hero posts BB $0.25

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.35) Hero has Q Q

fold, fold, fold, fold, SB raises to $0.75, Hero raises to $2.25, SB raises to $28.43 and is all-in, Hero ???

This is a battle of blinds, so it makes me feel I should call here even given villains stats? Normally in another scenario I would fold. Though in a blind battle I think I beat enough of his range to call here?

You have to decide what you think his range is and figure out if QQ wins about 47% of the time. Your data says look how QQ does against the top 8% of hands. If you want to make an adjustment for a blind fight then make it top 10% or top 14%. I would take the situation and see what % of likely hands QQ beats and now you know how to play this hand in the future all the time based on the hand range you give your opponent credit for.

Aa a general rule, I'd never fold QQ in a bvb spot for less than 120bbs. You need to have a read that your opponent is incapable of doing this with AK to fold here.

BvB without a soul-read, I don't think this is ever going to be a fold. If it's super deep or something you could make a case for it, but here it's a snap from me.

If a 16/8 played this normal and you had, say, 5 bet, then maybe. But this screams “I’m a nit with AK and I don’t want to see a T73 flop and not know what to do” jam TBH. I’d be surprised if he ever did this with AA and KK is probably low frequency at best.
