    Default Are QQ good here?

    No reads. Are QQ good here when he over shoves? In these low stakes one can expect anything from TT, KJ AJ+ . Also the button is yet to act.


    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 5.5 Tournament, 15/30 Blinds (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    SB (t2500)
    BB (t2465)
    UTG (t4355)
    Hero (UTG+1) (t3000)
    MP1 (t3905)
    MP2 (t3810)
    MP3 (t2355)
    CO (t2540)
    Button (t3010)

    Hero's M: 66.67

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Q, Q
    UTG bets t120, Hero raises to t400, 4 folds, Button calls t400, 2 folds, UTG raises to t4355 (All-In), Hero???

    3 bet smaller or I guess larger, I don't see what this does for us other than helping him to fold a bunch of 2-3 out hands.

    rest doesn't really matter, with no reads I don't think either play is a big mistake.

    Once you 3bet the plan should be to stack off (unless someone cold 4bet shoves or something). I don't have a problem with that, but flatting pre seems fine too

    TT, KJ, AJ is pretty loose even for a donkament I think. If we say JJ+, AK you're at 47.3% so a call is probably ok. AQ is possible at this level (but less likely since you have 2 Q's) - if we add that you're at 51.3%.

    So yeah I think what drmcboy said: call or fold is probably ok. In practice I don't think I'd be able to fold. I'd hit call and close my eyes...

    Bet sizes? 300-360 for smaller and 450-500 for larger? I mess up in bet sizing... still...

    Assuming money left back, I would never 3 bet more than 3x the raise, esp given he 4x to start. I go a bit less in a $5 since I am not going to be doing a lot of light 3 betting there anyway. And you are IP.

    Given it's early and it looks like maybe you just late regged since you have exactly 3k, doing something dumb looking like making it 1k so it's a two street pot works a decent amount if no one has a read on you.
