Default ($24) QQ minreraised by a big stack

The villain is unknown. I know a read would really be helpful here, but I was multitabling and missed the hand he doubled up, also no HUD stats on him.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t40/t80
7 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t2465
Hero: t1940
MP1: t760
CO: t3815
Button: t1380
SB: t1435
BB: t1705

Pre-flop: (7 players) Hero is UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to t200</font>, MP1 folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to t320</font>, 3 folds, Hero?

Push or check and play for set value?

Im pushing with 640 dead in the middle and its costing me $24 when Im wrong. If you are calling and playing for set v alue are you going to the felt on &lt;Q high flops? If so then i lean towards just shoving pre (which I am leaning towards anyways)

Well, from my experience minraising usually means a donk while minreraising means a monster more often than not...

Scotty, by saying "playing for set value" I mean leading out on &lt;Q high flops and shutting down if called.

Well just because its a monster often you can't stop dropping QQ to donks sadly. calling sux coz your likely to have best hand , and many flops you would dislike, and your oop. Can think of another donkish reraise of him, if he stops and calls it maybe youre ahead. But thats questionable play..

Push. I don't agree that the minreraise is a monster. If he'd raised to 400, maybe. This looks more like a "discourage callers" raise to me.

I meant "you can't start folding QQ to donks" in post above, can't edit it for some reasons

In this situation you HAVE to go back and find the hand he doubled up on.

That's good advice but if you don't have time, shove it in.
