QQ $10 6 max S&G now 4 handed

[TonyZ]

I raised quite a bit at this table but also have been getting quality calls. We are 4 handed and here is the history. How do you think I should have played this or was this correct. I tried to take away what happened on the flop here.

ALL COMMENTS APPRECIATED.

Raise less preflop, or shove. If you're going to stick in nearly half your stack you might as well just put it all in. As played if you intend to get your chips in let villain do the betting, your bet accomplishes nothing.

this looks awful. if you think button will call a shove, then shove. if not, raise to like ~t480-520. that way you're not committed on almost every flop in level 2 or whatever level you're in. the flop shove is awful. you're only getting called if you're beat and they're folding when you're ahead so you're losing all your value in certain situations and ending your tournament in others.

Meh, guess I really have nothing to add but to second (or third) the opinion. Once the Ace comes if intend to get all-in then at least check it and let him bet, that way you give him a chance to give you all his money if he has KJ for lower pair, KQ for a miss drawing to basically 4 outs, etc.

What to do is really depends on reads, but you've chosed wrong play on almost every opponent ... Shove (rarely, only if you know he will call with 10+%) / raise 3x preflop (mostly) / maybe even fold (if he is 4-% pfr ).

Your push flop is bad too, you are beaten - save your money.

Preflop if u want to raise then make it about 400 to 500. Your raise was way to big and u were comitting yourself.
on the flop you'll only be getting called by stronger holdings.
