I don't call pushes PF with QQ in the early levels. It's not the standard play for AA/KK to limp/push, but it is the 2nd default play and something lots of people try.

I missed that there was one limper ahead of CO. That makes it a much less likely play with AA/KK. I might call. It would depend on how I'm playing.

I've had this happen to me in a live game once (positions are the same) and he turned over AA, but he was also a noob donkey that hung himself with TPNK later.

My chips beat his into the pot - I've seen this be a bunch of low pairs and T9s online.

A lot of donks limp then get pissed when it gets raised behind them so they'll push in relatiation with whatever crap they limped in the first place.
