I haven't done very well lately, posting some situations in the near future to check my play.

This is pretty standard right?

A push is fine here. There are already 400 chips in the pot which we should be happy to pick up without a fight, and if someone is calling a reraise to ~400 they are going to call a push. And with QQ we want to get more money in the pot.

i dont know about pushing all in right there but a reraise is gonna be the best option

am i the only one who might just call there?

yes, callings is bad. I like the push.

You don't want 4 players in with you to see a flop. You have a strong hand, but it's vulnerable. You have a better chance of getting chips and not busting out if you raise. I would probably reraise to 450.

I think this is ok at this level, they will often call with alot of hands your crushing.

At what level you would consider it not alright?

The problem with a reraise is that you have to reraise to at least 300 to have any effect and more likely 400. Even if you only get one caller the pot is now 1200 and your stack 1600 making postflop play quite difficult. A push is way better than a reraise to ~400 here IMO
