Re: All in early with QQ
I've gone broke with QQ early a number of times in a similar situation. From what I've seen a bet of 10BB+ in the first 2 rounds early usually means QQ+.
Sure every now and then you'll see JJ or even something like 88 or AJ, but overall I think you're usually beat.
I think a lot of people will disagree with me here, especially if you are playing at the buyin level I suspect you are. However, I think that in general most of the really bad players you find early in these MTTs play a more passive role. They will call large raises but don't often make them.
I usually open with this type of ridiculously large 10BB+ overbet with KK or AA early because I can be pretty confident that I will get a caller. When you see someone else doing that, they probably have what they representing. Keep watching the results after someone opens for 300+ in the first 2 levels of these tournaments.
