Very weird line for button to take in this hand. I'd expect AA/KK should be reraising the first time it comes around instead of flat call, so it's hard to put him on a hand here. AK is the most likely one that I can think of which could take this line reasonably.

Does anyone ever see villains smooth calling here with AA/KK ever? Because of that, i think I like a reraise allin.

I'd go all in, there's only two hands that have you beat preflop, and the button just smooth called the min raise from the cutoff. My guess is that the button thinks you're on a steal, and is trying to re-steal.

Unless you're playing the cheap SnG's with all the donks, in which case, he probably has AA or KK. For some reason, they like to slow play it or min raise out of position, and then push hard when it get's raised behind them.

Yep, pretty standard. I play the cheap seats as well, and I hate picking up cowgirls early on. It's too good to fold, and I usually wind up getting called / re-raised with KK, AA, or the complete idiot with two suited.

one of them has AA/KK. forget about it.

Shove and make a note of what he had and how he played it. You just can't fold QQ preflop here in a 6.50.

I agree.

Folding QQ+ even to action in a $6.50 is like burning money. Make a note when called.
