Default Re: Sometimes SNGs aren\'t poker: Open-Folding QQ 3-Handed?

SNGPT gives +3.3% for an all-in raise with QQ given SB calls 100% and BB calls 0%. With a minimum edge of 0.2% the raising range is 88+, AKs.

Your EV actually increases as the SB calls with his very worst hands. I doubt he's calling 100%, which means you could actually open up your all-in range. In fact, given how tight he must know you are raising all-in, his calling range should also be very tight. Heck even if your raising range is quite loose (44+, A7s+, A9o+, KJs+) he should only be calling with about 6% of his hands.

I think folding QQ is a terrible play. In fact, given that if he calls your all-in with top 15% (+1.3%) and reraises a raise 100% (+3.3%), it may be better to make a normal raise and call his all-in. First place is worth a lot as well you know.
