QQ, how many hands are needed to make exploitative play
V 48 / 2 / 0 over 50 hands
Preflop V snap 4 bets. I'm already hesitant to call here, and feel like if I call pre I am committing myself as long as an overcard doesn't come.

You can fold this pre for 100bb against a passive whale due to sizing and snap actions.
Against passive fish, it's often prudent to fold hands like QQ-AK in this situation.
Passive players tend to 4bet with a very strong range, so our premium hands are often at risk of being dominated.
Typically, our strategy with these strong holdings is to aim for a call of our 3bet and value betting postflop.
