    Default Does he ever have anything besides AA or KK here?

    No reads. I have to lay it down right? I can't though

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $3.00+$0.40 Tournament, 15/30 Blinds (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    SB (t1255)
    Hero (BB) (t2250)
    UTG (t2840)
    MP (t2175)
    CO (t1745)
    Button (t3235)

    Hero's M: 50.00

    Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, Q
    UTG calls t30, 3 folds, SB calls t15, Hero raises to t120, UTG raises to t210, 1 fold, Hero raises to t600, UTG raises to t2840 (All-In), Hero ???

    I don't think I am ever laying down QQ pre-flop at the $3 tables. Villain can be making this move with a range a lot wider than AA or KK. I call.

    Personally make it 150-180 the first time around and just shove over after UTG donkminreraises.

    As played, I think it will be a cold day in hell when I lay down QQ at a $3.40 tourney in this spot with all those dead chips in the pot. Small pocket pairs like 33 and even crap like AJo are within the average $3.40 donk's range IMO.

    I think we have to learn to fold QQ more often. Just because it's a $3 tournament doesn't mean the guy doesn't know he has the better hand.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    If you take a random $3 tourney player, more often than not they will not know what they are doing and their range is wider than AA/KK here. I would need a good read to lay this down, not the other way around where I would need a good read to call.

    in this spot i call, can't lay down QQ prflop at $3 or at $5

    expecting to see that villian most likely has KK/AA
    $3 SnG AA/KK look like that

    If you want to fold after he shoves, what is another option?

    I think you should call his reraise, he may have AA/KK with a limp/reraise, AK is also a possibility, and you have position on him, call and see if a flop, if an A or K flops and he bets you can fold, if it is a low flop and he bets I will probably go over the top with no reads

    shove for me.
    if you face any of ftr regular posters who is playing at microstakes sng,then you can safely fold this.
    like what tlr said.
