Default Re: What to do w/ QQ this early?

I like to call and play pokah. Flop a set, great. But I think we're ahead enough of the time to play our hand for value this early in this tourney. C'mon, flat calling there don't mean dick to plenty of these players, nor does their open or 3 bet. We might be ahead, we might be behind, but this is our best way to control pot size and not allow them to play perfectly against us.

There's going to be about 550 in the pot going to the flop and about 2700 in your stacks. What, do you think your opponent is going to slow down at all? If it comes with an ace or a king, you autolose. If it comes with a queen you may not even get paid off, and are you just blindly calling bets on any other board?

Seems ridiculous to think that playing this hand is at all profitable. If you call 400 on the flop and they bet 1000 on the turn there's no way you can continue.

Well said Gobbo. IMO, calling is never an option here.
