------

This hand pretty much killed my tourney. My 300 chips couldnt do much at that point vs the big stacks and the escalating blinds. Should I have pushed? just called and folded? What do you think? Did I make too large of a bet on the flop, etc etc etc...

anyone?

Your preflop and flop bets were the wrong size.

If you are going to reraise preflop with QQ, go all-in so you have a little more folding equity and you can at least see all five cards on the board if your opponent calls.

The other reasonable option (less aggressive) is to call preflop and then check/fold to anything more than a minimum bet on this unfavorable flop. At least then you get out with minimal damage.
