Default ($22) QQ utg, lots of action

No reads. I had been playing tight.

Full Tilt Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t80 (7 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

BB (t3575)
Hero (t1250)
MP1 (t2625)
MP2 (t1315)
CO (t2740)
Button (t765)
SB (t1230)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
Hero raises to t240, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t240, CO raises to t880, Button calls t765 (All-In), <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero ??

Hmm, with only 1000 left after you raised, I think I just opt to get it in here. With multiple people in, I think it's safe to say that some aces are dead. So if you are ahead pre, there are lots of hands that share multiple cards out there. Reads would obviously be helpful here. Button does not have to have much of a hand here, I have seen ppl just call all in w/ SC's, small pairs, ATo, etc. He might just be involved here b/c he wants to win a big pot and "get back in it." Folding QQ to unknowns (CO) is pretty damn tough. Go broke I guess but I wouldn't have been surprised if you had the highest PP.

I like t200 preflop
So short, I just shove over the top. Can`t see myself folding here.

I'm pushing almost every time here. If someone has KK or AA, tough luck, but it's a risk I'll take almost every time with so much in the pot. The only one I'm really worried about here given the action is CO, but I think AK and JJ are reasonable holdings.

Hmmm i think folding is ok here. especially if you play better then the field. Don't see good CO range for this to be good call.

Depends on 22$ playstyle, if they can reraise utg raiser and caller with JJ like that i guess call is ok. but i think they shouldn't do that..

Well the BB is still only 80 and thus early in the stt.
In my experience raises like these, 80% of the time signify AA, KK or even at a push AK. you either 50/50 or huge underdog. You'll come across 1010, JJ and QQ most of the other time and on stupid rare, fish filled occasions completr air but you can discount those. I'm sure you'll be behind most of the time though.

I did say 80% of the time. Which from MY experience is true 4 in 5 it's a legitimate hand beating or in a 50/50 with QQ mibbe AQ if they're a little loose.
It's $22 stt not the 50's+
