Default Preflop spot with QQ, reraised/covered/oop

Villain has not shown any hands except an A6 he defended his BB with where he flopped an A and check called flop, turn and river went check, check and HHWG.
I have been active with a few 2.5BB raises pre taking down 3 pots w/ c-bets after raising pf 2.5/2.9xBB and no recent showdowns to play on for image. 79 players left 45 spots pay, both of us are top 20 in chips $30+3 $5,000 guaranteed

I don't like your raise, but that's just me... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Raise it to 1800, 3xBB as standard imo... I'm sometimes raising those raises just because it looks so weird [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

As played I'm shoving and I'm sure you ran into Kings or Aces? For me a standard shove if I don't have *total nittiness* as a read on villain...

I kinda outplayed myself trying to set up a resteal betting a goofy amt. so when opponent reraised I figured I got what I was looking for.

Anyways, with these stacks is a push or flatcall/evaluate flop the optimium play?

He may be raising since he say you do these kinds of raises a few times and is just trying to take it away from you. Or he has KK/AA, i think AK would just open shove here.

I guess you call and go broke on a low flop

I call and push any non A / non K flop. Maybe even just non A.

He certainly could have AA or KK here, but that happens. Alot. To me.

I shoved ...., villain had AA - flop was babies but A turned might have gotten off of it then if the money wasn't already in.

I have been experimenting with enticing resteals and looks like I just ran into a monster, but would like to hear what the forum thinks of the push that deep?

I dont like the shove here.
Your stack is fine and u can put all of your chips in better spots later.
Flatcall and evaluate the flop.
