[PS $22/180] What is the proper play with Queens

[NYCNative]

Around 50 people left, my stack is about average. No reads to speak of as I got moved to the table recently.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (9 handed) converter

MP2 (t3685)
MP3 (t1612)
Hero (t6615)
Button (t9070)
SB (t16524)
BB (t6200)
UTG (t4375)
UTG+1 (t3553)
MP1 (t4125)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t600</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t600, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero...

I decided a reraise was in order. I was unsure of how much given my stack and the pot size. What was the best play?

Tripling is my usual play or PSB.

[gumpzilla]

Given their stack sizes and how big the pot is going to be, I think you should probably push. I'm not too worried about the big stacks behind me waking up with a hand.

You could do the reraise isolation bit, but I think calling with 600 - given the size of your stack - is reasonable. If you think you have FE here, reraise. But with QQ, if I have no FE, I don't want to push and see five cards.

[NYCNative]

Without reraising, it allows people behind me to have odds to call with all kinds of holdings. I do not want to be in a multi-way pot - even with position - with Queens, do I?

No. It's a toughie. I suppose you can reraise to 1800 or whatever and then rethink it if he pushes. But 1800 is almost a third of your stack. If you're gonna reraise, just know that 1/2 your stack might be challenged. QQ is such an uncomfortable hand.

There is no rethinking if he pushes. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If villain pushes that is.

I raise 3x here and call a push.

[NYCNative]

If I'm calling a push anyway (assuming we're talking about a push from someone who might put me all-in as there are many mroe people left to act who have more chips), isn't pushing smarter? Or am I not calling all of my chips if a big stack goes over me?

2400 with intent to call a push or just push myself.
