Hypothetical...QQ early

    Default Hypothetical...QQ early

    First level in a medium sized field MTT, buy-in <$100, you're dealt QQ. Villain downstream has already shoved pre in a previous hand. You raise 3X pre, villain shoves, gets a caller behind.

    HU vs shovey villain it's an instacall, right?

    How 'bout 3-handed?

    I gamble. In a 1500 stack tourney I might even play JJ here, 3000 I think QQ/AK is about right

    I like a gamble too. The caller behind has the same read on shovey so is willing to call looser.

    I'm a station but heads-up vs. the donkey I call with AQs, AK, 99+, and 3-way I call with QQ+, AKs. I think it's a pretty big mistake to give someone too much credit when they do this a second time. One thing I've noticed though, is that even if someone is open-shoving every hand, tournament players are nits and they'll usually have they goods when they call him.

    You see 77-JJ a lot on the first caller
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    With the villain shoving lots the average coldcallers range goes down so this is an easy call.

    very easy call here. Any way it plays out in a loss can be considered a cooler.

    I think that you will win with this call about 65% of the time.
