2/5 bellagio
 

mp1: $92
co: $1200
hero:$320

Mp1 open raises allin to $92, folds, CO calls $92, folded to me in BB. CO has been limping a lot and raising a lot in position. I've only seen one hand he's called a small preflop raise to and that was 96off.
I decide to muck anything but KK/AA but look down at two black Q's. I give it a lot of thought and push.

standard - you only have 60BB - so easy push with Queens

Pretty standard IMO. I've only played the 2-5 at bellagio a few times, but in live poker in general it seems big stacks are far too willing to "gamble" with shortstackers putting it in.

for what its worth I don't put CO on anything worse than 1010/AQs. Does this change anything? am i ahead enough?

QQ is beating that range, shove is fine. Only problem is, he MIGHT fold 10's, J's and AQ and call with the others.

Shove certainly isn't bad but why risk chasing off hands you beat from CO?

Given hero stack size you want to shove either PF or on flop, you also want CO to call, even if part of his range beats you. I think the best way to get CO to call the shove is call PF then blind shove before you see the flop. CO has you beat, so be it but your blind shove will make him think 10s or Js may be good if no A or K lands on flop.

Just a thought...

Easy shove preflop for $360.

If you're both deep I would flat call.

I pushed he did fold JJ. How about min. raise and push blind flop?
