    pre is close, I would raise at 50/100 and not at 15/30.

    people play so terrible in this tourney I would just get it in

    I would definitely reraise pre and be willing to get it in. Looks like Mp2 just sucks, but yeah, UTG+1 has us crushed a lot (I don't think he has AJ/TT very often) but I'm not sure I could get away from this.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    i think against just utg+1 im alot happier to get it in because afterall i didnt 3 bet to disguise my hand and to get him to do somethin crazy.

    however vs 2 players, no matter how sucky mp2 is our chances of holding up if we have the best hand are less, shud this effect our decision?

    how bad is calling and getting it in on a non club/over?

    hero has 0 chips left if hero calls flop shove

    i think with this action you can fold QQ. UTG+1's range is like QQ+, 44/77, AcKc. he didn't think even consider folding so I think AJ is much less likely

    Juan are you calling with KK then?
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    Looks like he's getting over 2/1 so ya. But I'd almost never flat KK in this spot

    stats help even over a limited sample size pre. But most likely I am raising pre especially on Stars.

    as played pre, I agree w/mcat and just call post. draws aren't folding, hands that crush us aren't folding, and the hands that we dominate we don't want to fold.

    Says stats are standard (ie not nitty or donkish), what are going to do pre if you 3bet and he 4bets?

    I don't know if I like 3beting pre with QQ against most semi knowledgeable players that are raising from EP with these stacks.

    I do agree that you want to keep the pot manageable post.

    Stack sizes change from ~100bb stacks at 15/30 to 30bbs at 50/100.
