The UTG huge overbet

[Dave D]

Lately I've noticed, especialy late tourney (like after the money has hit) people pushing with like 12-15 bb UTG and it's almost ALWAYS QQ+, very often KK, or at worst AK. I find it kind of interesting, because I think the standard line would be to raise 3x. It seems like people are thinking that this is a better play the outplay the table, ie KK would never push because it wants action, so it must not be KK.

I just thought I'd point out this trend, and already several times today I've played down AQ and AQs in the BB with a 10bb stack.

Discuss?
