This is a very tricky hand. The first player UTG smooth calls. YOu raise it up and get reraised all in. This could be a typical squeeze play with AK. I don't see why he'd be making such a huge reraise with AA or KK. I think your QQ could be ahead, but how certain are we ? I think also a smaller pocket pair here could be a nice reraise squeeze play. I think majority of the time you are ahead or WAY behind to AA or KK. You really have to be concerned about AK here and I'd say fold if you can build chips other ways since it is so early. If your want a early chips stack I say call here. Most likely it's a smaller or mid pair if it's not AK. AA or KK wouldn't really reraise all in here.

Yeah that was my reasoning... he wouldnt overbet so much w/ AA or KK. But i also really considering folding b/c i had a large chip stack at the time and losing 400 chips in that pot was really trivial; then again the chance to pick up a "super stack" swayed me into calling. BTW he had AA

Same thing happened to me this last week where I had JJ, raised and an early limper put in a 75 BB re-raise. I thought about it, 'he couldn't be beating me now', called to show AA. In these micros I don't think you can discount bad play w/ monsters, but I still call here.
