Re: QQ Early in Stars $50K
I realize it's an overbet, but there's an argument for pushing preflop for precisely the reason heresy mentioned... you have a horrible stack left with which to c-bet. Couple that with the fact that over 40% of the time you're going to see an Ace or King on the flop, and the option to pick up the 450 chips that are out there and increase your stack nearly 15% starts to get more attractive.
Alternatively, and also for stack size reasons, you could opt to slow play here and just call the initial raise. The SB isn't going to call light out of position with two players behind, and the BB isn't a consideration since he'd be all-in if he called. This option keeps the pot smaller against a player who can bust you, and also disguises your hand quite well.
In any event, as played I think you must call the turn bet. Your flop check screams weakness and villain could be making this bet with a lot of hands that you are crushing.
