QQ hand

[ark4748]

4.40/180 I know I donked this hand, hadnt seen a great hand all tourney. Should I have potted the flop and then pushed on the turn? Either way I think all my money is going in this pot before I even see the river, unless I see a reraise on the flop? What's the correct play here?

Why do you say you donked the hand?

You got your opp to call your all-in when you had a great hand. Although I rarely overbet with a flop like that, I am thinking it might be an approach I should start using especially heads-up.... if your one opp is going to call a standard flop bet, he will prolly call an over-bet, so why not just go for it?

Considering that teh likelihood of someone calling in this specific tourney is even higher than normal, I really like this play.

Right after I bet, I kicked myself bc I was afraid that the overbet was going to scare him off. Ignoring the results, I am glad he called me. Ill take my chances with that flop and QQ. I was more worried that my overbet may scare off a lot of hands that I want to call me.
