FT $20/180 PokerStars-Pick up QQ

[XHitman014]

FT 5 players left. I've been cold decked for the entire FT. I pick up QQ in SB. Villians in hand are the BB, the chipleader and a complete donkey who raises too much, too often, with too little cards. He has consistently raised all in with hands like QJo and managed to luckbox his way to a lot of chips. Other villian is UTG, who doubled through villian with AA two hands ago. Not too much of a read on villian. Seems like he plays premium hands, I'd put on a range of AA-77, AK-A10.KQ-K10 Did I play this correctly or should I have just pushed PF?

min riasing is stupid, just shove.

Just push first time around here. Minraisisng sucks, because it gives away the strength of your hand and at the same time gives villain odds to call and outflop you. It worked out nicely for you though here with BB calling and then villain isolating you to add some dead money in the pot, but usually that won't happen.

Thanks. Usually I never min raise but the BB had made so many moves on raised pots in the past that I wanted him to push UTG out. My chips were going in no matter what. Just a matter of how fast to get them in.

[Bakes]

its not a minraise btw, but with your stack it doesn't matter cuz you should push first.

Actually I would probably just call if the BB is coming over the top a lot, even if he folds and you take a flop its really not that bad.
