what is the best play here?

[Tomazores]

This guy was playing solid, a little loose but solid all thru the session.

So, I figure he has a pocket pair, or AT+ Obviously I am quite sure I am ahead, but is it best to just call here, and bet big on any non A flop?

I raise it up here, it looks like he may have a hand hes willing to felt and you want to get as many chips in preflop as possible. I make it like 2k to go here.

ugh, min-raise min-raise. I'm just AI here.

[dsmrolla06]

Im only pushin all in here if ive seen that villain has been able to call big allins with such a deep stack. I dont like the push just because we are so deepstacked here and its hard for him to call if he doesnt have a good hand.

[K2 the ArmA]

That's probably the better play - I suck HU.

-I don't think I've been HU around 100/200 for a LONG time. Are the FT sngs that soft?

[dsmrolla06]

Ive never been that low in blinds heads up. Its usually around 120/240 or 150/300 somewhere in there. Ive only been playing them tho a couple weeks but they do seem pretty soft, not as soft as AP was tho.

this is a weird spot, I guess we move in because we can't get much action on the flop unless we're beat after we re raise if he has Ax Kx or PP. Cold calling is a kinda fun gamble play but again may spook him.

[Tomazores]

Thanks guyz. Obviously the +EV play would be raise or push. I opted to reraise to 1900 or so, and he pushed, which I gladly called. He showed AKs and spiked the A on the turn or river (i forget). I know it is good to get it in with the best of it, but this has happened quite a few times to me, and I find myself thinking... what is the rush? I am fairly confident of my play, why risk it all here? I'm starting to think it is better to just call there, cause I don't think he will continue in the hand if no A comes on the flop, and I can take down a nice pot.

As to the softness of the FT sngs, I found the 10's and 20's quite a bit tighter, believe it or not. I was somewhat reluctant to move up, even though I am bankrolled for them, but I started playing the 30's just a few weeks ago and I found the play to be quite maniacal, early AI's with TP and stuff like that. I won one last week that only lasted about 20 minutes! Who needs turbos? LOL

Dont ever regret getting it all in preflop with queens heads up, no matter what they flip over. Theyre going to have A9+ and 99-JJ here enough that youll win most of the time you get it in in this spot.

Push.

honestly, yuck. I thought this post was about getting value from QQ, not trying to get away from it.
