QQ in BB vs SB raise early in tournament
This is a home tournament, with slow moving blinds and quite a few decent players.
The buy-in was $100 for $10,000 in chips. We are in the 2nd round with blinds at $50/$100. There are 21 players in the tournament with 7 players at three tables. Relevent Stacks in this hand UTG ~ 10,000 MP1 ~20,000 MP2 ~ 10,000 SB ~ 2,800 I have ~$10,000 UTG and MP2 are decent, but nothing special. MP1 is a calling station of the highest order, but has caught a few hands so far. SB is pretty bad, too, though not as bad as MP1. I'd put SB's pre-flop raising range at somthing like 77+, ATo/s+. I have QQ in the BB. Pre-flop UTG - call, MP1 - call, MP2 - call, SB raises to $600, leaving him with $2,200 Hero.... This might be an obvious question for someone that plays tournaments frequently. I'm curious what tournament people would do here given it is so early in the tournament. |

Re: QQ in BB vs SB raise early in tournament
Raise to 1600 because if someone is stupid enough to smooth call in between you will be able to reshove after SB pushes.
Because this is a home game there would most likely be a disagreement over whether the betting is reopened if SB goes all in for half of your bet... skirt the argument by allowing him to make a full raise. I am actually amazed at how often people make raises in multiway pots with a short stack and they do not consider making a bet that allows them to reshove if the shortie shoves. |

These things are the reason ISAP. That's probably not something I'd have even considered. Especially live where I only vaguely know peoples stacks. Online at least that kid of stuff is easier to calculate.

Re: QQ in BB vs SB raise early in tournament
This is a great point, thanks. Something I never considered either. I definitely would not have been able to re-raise if SB went all in for less than half my bet. The "house" rule is betting is capped at that point.
