Default QQ limp-raise

Was going to limpraise this. When to limp-raise? I have found it effective in the later stages and hu of tournaments. Tried it in the beginning of 6.5$ 18man.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1400)
MP1 (t2060)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1600)
CO (t1410)
Button (t1550)
SB (t1020)
BB (t1460)

Preflop: Hero is in UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Hero calls t20, UTG+1 calls t20, MP1 calls t20, MP2 calls t20, MP3 calls t20, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, Button calls t20, SB calls t10, BB checks

Flop: (t160) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (8 players)
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets t140</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, MP1 calls t140, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, MP3 calls t140, Button calls t140, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="red">BB raises to t1440 (All-in)</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t1480 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP3 folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>

when you limpraise it says "i have QQ-AA you are beat" and even the fish gets that, just raise.

i think its fine to do it later in a sng with 8-15bb.

I dont like limp raises early. Rather limp later in a tournament and when someone low moves in you now have the action you wanted.

Just forget the limp reraises. First of all, you run the risk of missing a chance to raise if everybody limps behind you which happens quite often. Second, you totally give your hand away unless you do it a few times with lesser hands and the other people at the table see you doing it. Just make your standard raise and go from there.

I raise to t80 preflop
From my experience, there are more calling-stations here than in a 1-table SNG, so a limp is really bad..

I hate limpraising right here. The main reason is everyone loves to see the flop in these and an ace or king is gonna hit the flop (I don't know # of top of my head) pretty often and your gonna be in a tight spot. Just standard raise it up. Later in an sng when just about everyone is short I don't hate this play but I wouldn't generally do it w/ qq only kk/aa.
