Her Highnesses... Loving the Ladies

So I asked, how often is QQ ahead when you call a PF all-in? I think I'd say 10-20% of the time. You'll see AA 50% of the time, KK 30%, then AK, JJ, 1010 the rest of the time. And that's overall percentages. If you're playing someone solid, it will almost always be AA or KK.

So back to the hand...

Full Tilt Poker, $0.25/$0.50 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players
SB: $42.55
Hero (BB): $110.50
UTG: $109.05
CO: $100
BTN: $100

CO posts $0.50
Pre-Flop: Q Q dealt to Hero (BB)

UTG folds, CO checks, BTN folds, SB raises to $2,
Hero raises to $6.50,
CO folds, SB raises to $42.55 and is All-In,
...
...
...
Hero (stupidly) calls $36.05

Flop: ($85.60) 8 Q 2 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)
Turn: ($85.60) K (2 Players - 1 is All-In)
River: ($85.60) 5 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)
Results: $85.60 Pot ($3 Rake)
SB showed A A (a pair of Aces) and LOST (-$42.55 NET)
Hero showed Q Q (three of a kind, Queens) and WON $82.60 (+$40.05 NET)

So yeah, the Queens can be a source of major leakage, as they should have been here.

But lately, they've been gold. One more time, this was supposed to be the Sweet Hand from this past weekend...
