FTP $5.50 MTT - Min 3 bet holding QQ

[Hosehound25]

Is my play simply shoving all in here, especially with my stack (avg is around 7K)? The min-raise def scares me, even tho I have been at the same table with this guy throughout and he is def not a good player. Any and all thoughts welcomed guys. Thanks.

I'm never laying QQ down here in a $5.50. Add the fact that your read says this guy isn't very good and it's an easy shove. Sure AA and KK are in villian's range but that's not all he could have. You give up to much if you laydown QQ to a min-reraise everytime some yo-yo does it.

Also use a HH converter.

Sorry I tried the legopoker one that I use for my 6 max cash tables but it kept on saying error. If we're both deep in chips would this change the way you play the hand?

Different stacks would change the situation a little bit, although I would probably still 4bet, just not to an all-in level. If I had 12000 here, I would re-raise to something like 3200.

With the $ in the pot, I think your best course of action is to just push preflop. Min-raising ranges are fairly wide, and you arte certainly ahead of that range.

Note: There are several different links for convertors in the FAQ. Just make one a bookmark so it's easy to get to.

Yeah deeper I would just 4-bet instead of shoving, and call a shove after that. Of course of all this depends on how deep and such.

Try this converter it works for me.

Just be sure to select 2+2

its a 5.50 tourney alot of people min raise middle pairs and weak aces in these smaller buy ins theres a good amount of money in the pot so i think we shove here
