I probably fold preflop since your hand doesn't have too much potential but its not terrible for half price in a big pot but you will be out of position so I fold. On the flop, all you have is bottom 2 pair. Check that and fold to a bet. I wouldn't bet that into a big field as people could easily have Q5 or Q4 or at least a good draw to catch up. You could be drawing dead to QQ. When it is raised, that's a definitely fold and no way am i getting all in with bottom 2 pair and no draw.

I hope you didn't call the all in as you already lost $7 more on this hand than you should.

If you want to bet the flop you need to bet the full pot. Then you know you're beat if someone raises.

That said when someone DOES raise here, you're basically smoked. Bottom two, out of position, into a big field, with no draw - that's pretty much no hand, basically.

valaitis was on the button and pretty loose. I thought he was just trying to take the pot down to my weak bet, possibly with just a pair, so I pushed him back.

Then he reraised and I didn't think it through, so I called. QQQ.
