    Default QQ to 3-bet level 3 ($27)

    Opp's stats were like 38/25 or something at this stage. Clearly I am not folding, the question is shove over or call and get it in on a non A/K flop?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG+1 (t1415)
    MP1 (t1390)
    MP2 (t2070)
    Hero (t1415)
    Button (t1435)
    SB (t1555)
    BB (t1975)
    UTG (t2245)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with Q, Q.
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls t50, 2 folds, Hero raises to t200, 2 folds, BB raises to t450, UTG+1 folds, Hero ????

    If you just call and an ace or king comes (1 in 3), then you will have to fold and will have lost 450 of your stack. If an A or K doesn't come, then yes you are in great shape to win the pot, but probably won't get much more into the pot. I would just shove over preflop or maybe even re-raise to something like 700 or 750. If he calls or re-raises then he is pot committed....if he has KK or AA then onto the next one...donks do get big hands sometimes

    I was watching a couple of your games and some of the players really don't seem all that good. Saw a guy call an all-in with K4 of hearts...one heart on the flop, then runner runner heart to win the hand. Can this guy see what cards are coming or what? Are most players at that level winning players? Doubt I will get to that level anytime soon, but the play surprised me a bit...the small bit I watched anyways.

    By calling you're more safe against AK but you are not getting any value from worse Aces because they'll just fold at the flop.. I think both is fine but shoving is better IMO.. just more risky..

    I would call and assume I have the best hand on non A flop

    I think either one is fine readless. I probably just end up shoving because he can call with shit since he seems bad and if he does fold he'll probably be less likely to bluff at us in the future.

    I think this would be an easy shove over if there wasnt that UTG+1 limper. If villian is paying attention he might realize that your raise is pretty strong. But with this villians numbers, I'm still thinking QQ is in good shape, so I still shove over and would be fine seeing AK
