QQ late stages against the chip leader
Wood already used the title I wanted: "don't like my options" - would appreciate your thoughts.
$50 mutli on Pokerroom, 275 entries, 12 left on 2 tables, typical payout structure. I'm 2nd or 3rd in chips w/ ~53k, leader has ~60k and is to my right, tightly bunched on our table - ranging from ~30k-60k, 2 or 3 on the other table at 10-15k. Blinds 800/1600, no ante. Table has been moderately quiet - no walks, but few reraises. I'd expect I'm viewed as TAG, villian as been somewhat looser but nothing out of line, other players haven't been out of line either. Hero UTG+1 (or hijack 6 handed) w/ QQ Villian chip leader UTG leads for 4800. Hero?

Re: QQ late stages against the chip leader
I saw make it 12-15k. That should make it so that you're not risking too much of your stack and letting him know that you have a strong hand. Especially since you have been tight, this should make him fold anything worse than AKs. If he re-shoves then you have an interesting situation on your hand.

The pot odds are too good at this point. You have 35xBB. Not deep enough to fold QQ in normal circumstances.

If you are playing to win, I gotta believe this is the better option unless you are committed to calling his push prior to making your bet. If he has AA-KK, then "nice hand, sir".

Re: QQ late stages against the chip leader
is flat calling an option here??
i'm new to MTTs - if hero flat calls the raise it'd make any flop w/ an A/K easier to get away from. is this the wrong spot to use this logic? advice appreciated.

[/ QUOTE ] Of course you are going to call a third raise. If he has AA-KK, you have pot odds and a 20% chance to win. I don't think pushing is bad. However, if you raise, your only big problem is if villain flat calls and an ace flops.
