Should I just never call with QQ at these stakes?

I never called when I played the 11s. I rarely call at the 22s.

You really think pushing pf is terrible? Ive seen a lot of bad plays at the 11s. People over value tons of pairs/AK,AQ. Those are all monsters to some people and will just hit the raise button. They dont care if it is only a min raise. Im a fan of getting it all in quick with QQ.

This is incredibly weak tight. Today I had similar hands at the $109's and saw AT, and AQs. This is a clear push.

My opponents had AK and 88. I folded the best hand.

QQ is far far far far far too god damned strong at the 11s. You cant play it like 99 or TT. I push it preflop here every single time.

On the offchance i see the flop im never, ever, ever folding this overpair.

You need to get past the "monsters in the closet" type mentality. You have around 30-40 hands to increase your stack by a factor of 9 or 10 - you cant make these folds as this simply isnt the WSOP.

You win MTTs by making big laydowns, NOT STTs.

I always push this pf after the re-raise at $11. Expect to be called by 22+ A8+ KJ+.
