    Default $5.50, QQ, call or push?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    CO (t2605)
    Button (t1870)
    SB (t975)
    BB (t1080)
    UTG (t2470)
    Hero (t2680)
    MP2 (t1820)

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with Q, Q.
    1 fold, Hero raises to t200, 1 fold, CO calls t200, 3 folds.

    Flop: (t475) 7, 4, 3 (2 players)
    Hero bets t300, CO raises to t600, Hero ???

    What's the right move here? I'm inclined to shove here, but was wondering what others thought. CO's stats are 26/13.

    I think AA or KK would re-raise pre-flop. I would shove here at a $5.50 and pay off a set.

    He either has a set or an over pair below your QQ. I push.

    AA, KK, sets = way less likely than JJ, TT, assorted trash at 5.50. Get. It. In.

    Any reads? Any previous?

    I agree though your just as likely to be up against 88-JJ, even potential hands like A7 here.

    26/13 I assume is hands dealt/flops seen. Thats a little high 26 hands in, probably mostly calls. Seeing that many flops gets you in this kind of trouble. He probably got some part of it with a bad Ace if he is a loose losing player. I doubt he called that raise with a small pair and hit his set. Even loose players at 5.50 would fold to a raise like that.

    Don't think he would re-raise with a big Ace, KQ, JQ which is what I would have put him on with the loose call.

    I think you have to shove at this level. He will most likely call and you will hope an Ace doesn't hit.

    Seems fine, now I get it in on the flop. If he has AA, KK, a set or (much less likely) some freak two pair, I pay him because they pull this with much much less (88-JJ, A7, sometimes total air).

    Agree with others on shoving and if he did show down AA or KK I would make a note of it for future use.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.
