Default QQ first hand of a free tournament

10/20 blinds, everyone has 1500; it's a 10 FPP $1000 added tournament; I'm first in with a raise to 100. One caller. Next player to acts raises to 480.

I'm assuming that a lot of people in these free things want to double up / don't care that much, etc. Is that wrong? Push or fold?

Shove, shove, shove, shove, shove, shove shove.

Just trebled up on jj pf this way and came 2nd in a free tourney

In most of these tourneys, the fish think two paint cards like k 10 off is a monster.

Easy all in. In a normal spot you might fold, but the first hand of a freeroll is often crazy. You have to try to double up here. Besides, if you lose, you don't lose anything anyway, and can spend your time playing money games.
