    Default QQ Early Donkament

    About the 6th hand of the tourney, no big reads on the villain. Do I push?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 15/30 Blinds (9 handed)

    Button (t1799)
    SB (t1560)
    BB (t1053)
    UTG (t1393)
    UTG+1 (t830)
    MP1 (t1130)
    MP2 (t1870)
    MP3 (t1875)
    Hero (CO) (t1470)

    Hero's M: 32.67

    Preflop: Hero is CO with Q, Q
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls t30, 2 folds, MP3 calls t30, Hero raises to t150, Button calls t150, 2 folds, UTG+1 calls t120, MP3 calls t120

    Flop: (t645) 8, 2, 6 (4 players)
    UTG+1 checks, MP3 bets t90, Hero raises to t270, 1 fold, UTG+1 calls t270, MP3 raises to t660, Hero ???

    Total pot: t1455

    You are SOOOOOoooooooooooooo married to this hand. Consider stack-to-pot ratio is barely 1-1.5, really much more than that because MP3 is certainly getting it in and UTG+1 is probably coming along, too.

    There are only a few hands you're worried about, 88, 66, and 22. (I admit it looks like a set)
    AA/KK are incredibly unlikely, and there are almost no 2 pairs in anyone's range here, maybe the occasional 86. You're crushing everything else -- JJ-99, A8, 77, and most flush draws (you're basically flipping with Kdxd and Adxd and are slightly behind 9d7d).

    Your flop reraise is too small, imo. Should bet 450 or more and obviously call a shove, you're giving UTG+1 good odds to draw to his flush.

    Get it in.

    that early in a donkament you will have many who will call pre-flop 5xBB with any ace or even junk.

    anything is possible.

    So, if an A flops and I see the same action, I should shut it down?

    If the Ac flops instead of the 6c, I'd call the $90 and fold to further action.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    you can't fold here., the fact that you have the Qd makes it even easier
