Default Ahhhh the infamous QQ

These cards are either going to be LADIES to you, or BITC*ES.

You never really gave us alot of details about the hand like the X card in AAX or if there was 2 hearts on board ect.

In real life its easier to get a read on the person. You must have caught something off him.

Number one I always raise QQ more than the standard raises PREFLOP. Drive out all the LOOSE A,X - K,X type hands. Now I know only quality type hands have called. (HOPEFULLY).

Now the problem you have here is #1 A loose type player who called you. He could have literally anything. # 2 is the flop. An A hit let alone 2. We all know ppl like to play A's especially looser ones. Now a K on the turn is just OVERKILL here.
( !!! DANGER !!! WILL ROBINSON !!! DANGER !!! )

There is a case to be made that you got good odds to see a Riv and still show you have some sort of hand to him and hope to spike a Q or hope to be up against a lower pocket pair. But folding is also not to be blamed. You can put that $ in at a later time with a hand your more sure of. But on the same token A 10$ turn bet from him is very suspicious. Kind of begs to be called. Setup.

The best I can say is at least it didn't turn out like 2,4, 8 flop and you get it ALL in only to learn you got 2 outted by 88 or 44. Where it is alot harder to see the danger.
