$3.4 - QQ ITM

[mattiesmat]

I was discussing this hand with my friend.
Is a raise better than a push here? Or perhaps even a call?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t600 with t50 antes (3 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Button (t5295)
SB (t4405)
Hero (t5300)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">Button folds</font>, SB calls t300, <font color="red">Hero raises to t5250 (All-in)</font>, SB calls t3755 (All-in)

i raise to 1400 (make him put in another 800 to call) and then bet flop/turn. never fold postflop.

I think the previous action would define how this is played. I think you want a call here, but we don't know how the previous hands have been unfolding to predict this. If you're looking to just get a fold out of the SB, I think Little John is correct in betting 1400, as it will most likely accomplish the same thing.

i dont want villian to fold. i want him to call and then stack off with some junk postflop. i just don't want to give him a free flop so i figured 1400...

I like a push, people will stack off with lots of crazy [censored] here

[PokahPokah]

depends on heros previous actions , push a lot ? then push if not wack a nice raise in

[mickii]

I dont push as I am hoping for a call, I do raise to a pot committing amount though. Range is most likely including an overcard and we are dodging bullets. unfortunately limp here could imply aces or kings.

[Frozinite]

Only raise PF if you intend on going all in on any flop, even those with K and A and he bets out strong. Otherwise, just push PF.

[Sykes]

Um, push pf plz cuz it's the same thing you'd do with A2o+/broadway/pair.

Seriously, the small raise reeks of strong hand.
