$1,000 Live QQ First level

[SumZero]

I agree with the flop bet but think fold is clear hear. Also, unless I'm mistaken (since I also played in a $1K live event with $10K chips and 25/50 first level on the same day), another key detail that may affect the hand is that the tournament in question is spread limit and bets and raises can be no more than 2000. That may change how you play the hand. ObBeat: I know that changed how I played my AA versus QJ on a J23r board (w/ 7000 in pot after my flop c/r) when a Q hit on the turn villain give a huge live tell (betting out of turn more than the spread max). I could have saved 4000 if I trusted my read, but I only lost 4000 and not my full stack b/c of the spread limit. ObBrag: I was able to work my 1350 chips 25 minutes into the tournament up to 20K 2 hours into the tournament. ObVariance: I was out 58th when my unexploitable sb 14.5K push with 97s lost to bb's AJo.
