Default $6 Stars QQ

Well I have two questions. First of all should I be going all in instead of raising to t450? Second what should my post flop move be?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1255)
Hero (t1410)
CO (t3250)
Button (t1870)
SB (t1680)
BB (t4035)

Preflop: Hero is in UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t450</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, BB calls t300

Flop: (t975) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks,

Hero?

With anything less than 12BB it's an insta-shove pre, 15BB I still shove.

Reason why is because of what happened on this flop.

I'm new too but I can answer your first question: Yes.
Then you don't have to worry about the second. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

You have less than 10x the BB so you should just go all in.

I would be shoving as to disguise the strength of my hand. 450 is better w/ KK/AA though b/c they're less vulnerable hands and we won't get as many crappy overcard flops (villain's at a $6 probably won't realize you juice your extra premiums). As played I would shove the flop. It's pretty drawy and I don't want to check and give free cards to draws that would've otherwise paid to chase. If he has a k, I think it's a go broke situation with the pot so big already we can make a PSB.

I'm pretty sure raising 3BB when you have &lt;10 is a bad play with just about ATC.

I initially misread the HH and thought you were asking if 450 was better than 375...

QQ is to strong to push here imo.
make it t375 hoping to get overshoved.
obv. go broke on the flop.

With a bit bigger stack i make it t375 and check behind the flop. If im out of pos i tend to check/call flops like these to collect some value from hands i beat (hand that fold to my floplead)
