Default Re: overbet pushes into small pots early in low buy in tournies

actually with better players I would flat call with QQ this deep...pushing into a 150 pot for 1500 isnt my style but that's the whole point...here's an example where it backfired...very early in $12 turbo...note still only a minor backfire cause I won't love too many flops:

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t10/t20
9 players

UTG: t1380
UTG+1: t1500
Hero: t1500
MP2: t1500
MP3: t1500
CO: t960
Button: t1520
SB: t2200
BB: t1440

Pre-flop: (9 players)
Hero is MP1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls t20
UTG+1 calls t20
Hero raises all-in t1500
8 folds
Uncalled bets: t1480 returned to Hero.

Final pot: t90
