Poker's Not Gambling

When you get two girls for a hand, Q-Q is among the best hands preflop in NL Texas Hold’em. You might have problems though when you go on an all out preflop raising since most likely you are against real monsters, Kings or Aces. Do not get married early with this hand since an overcard after the flop can be dangerous. Be ready to fold when you know you are beaten.

Against other hands

The statistics are very low that you will be going up against aces or kings. Be very careful though when the table is bombarded with a lot of betting before the flop. Assess and see if you need to fold. It will be a tough choice but you must do this when you are almost certain that you are up against Aces or Kings.

Be more careful when you are playing against super tight players as there is a better chance they are raising because they have a good reason to do it. Against looser poker players, there is a good chance that your pocket Queens are better.

Position

If you have a looser poker player to your right, then you can re-raise. This somehow blocks callers and limits the situation to a heads up game. Playing against three more players will make the situation difficult for you and when an Ace is on the flop, most likely someone was able to make a pair of Ace. So you need to fold.
