    Default good, but not great hands facing a huge raise

    first hand of a $20 sng on party, where you start with 800 chpis. You are dealt QQ on the BB. utg and utg+1 limp, utg+2 raises to 200. What do you do? What would you do if you had JJ?

    QQ I shove every day. JJ is tougher.

    push QQ, fold JJ

    if utg raises 200 and utg+1 shoves, i still probably take QQ in a $20 sngs on party, i only start laying down QQ preflop in $50 sngs and up on party. in $20 ones people make stupid raises like that with all sorts of crap that you will usually have dominated, occasionally run into AA or KK but this is a profitable push

    Pushing QQ to a raise is profitable even in 50s. At least for me. The time they have AA KK is made up for by silly JJ TT and AQ which occationally call ur all in. I think love may be right about JJ.
