Default (22) Fold QQ?

PartyPoker, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t700)
UTG+1 (t835)
MP1 (t1965)
MP2 (t755)
CO (t310)
Button (t1595)
SB (t450)
Hero (t1390)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises t100</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="red">MP2 raises t300</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises t1340 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="red">MP2 raises t455 (All-in)</font>

MP2 has tighter than the average 22'er and I know I have no FE against him. Given that I have a comfortable stack should I pass on QQ here?

I push here. You are dominating a lot of the time here.

Tough one. Based on your reads, his small raise, and your post, I am putting him on KK or AA. But, without this information, I am pushing here.

Folding is horrible. You've got them all comfortably covered. He'll have TT, JJ, AK, AQ and some other random crap often enough.

You played this fine. All he's done is re-raised a minraise. Even a tight player at the 22's is capable of doing this with TT+, AJs+, AQ+. You're 56% against that range...far more than you need to make a push profitable.

Actually I think this is the right play. You will still have 600 left if you lose. And you could be crushing him. I risk it.
