    Little help please for a player finding his feet in cash games after years of MTT and STT. I've been pleased with how it's going so far but one area I'm struggling with is when/if I should fold big hands in certain situations. The following is a recent one I encountered.

    I've not been at the table long no history with players.

    Seat 2 : HERO has $168.50
    Seat 3 : spitmurf has $11.63
    Seat 4 : Roofing has $47
    Seat 5 : Strongbad99 has $396.25
    Seat 6 : VILLAIN has $147
    spitmurf is the dealer.
    Roofing posted small blind.
    Strongbad99 posted big blind.
    Dealing Hole Cards.
    HERO has Qc Qd
    VILLAIN called $2 and raised $4
    master321 folded.
    HERO called $6 and raised $15
    spitmurf folded.
    Roofing folded.
    Strongbad99 folded.
    VILLAIN called $15
    Dealing flop.
    Board cards [4h 7h Jc]
    VILLAIN bet $126 and is All-in

    I'll save you the suspense and tell you I called. I thought it looked like an easy call based on how the Villain overbet the pot and that he didn't re-raise me pre-flop. Does anyone fold here?

    A missed AK or a flush draw might do this, I can't see AA or KK doing this, surely they will play the hand more straight-forwardly.
    I'd probably call too and expect to see JhTh or something more often than Aces or Kings, although you'll see those hands or a set every now and then.

    You are behind this range.
    You need to see a naked J or TT/99 here sometimes ...
