pushing all-in preflop with Q Q

[theredpill5]

Was this a major foul up ?

Hero is in EP with Q Q

Hero $40
Villain $10
MP1 $70
MP2 $45

MP1 raises nearly every round. I figured I'd let him do the raising.

Hero calls
MP1 raises to $2
MP2 calls
Villain on button pushes all-in for $10

Hero ?

What is the move here ? Just call off 1/4th of my stack ?

Depends on your opponent. But probably a call.

Why aren't you raising this when the action gets to you? Also blinds and stack sizes are pretty important here; it would be nice to see how much MP1 and MP2 have as well, since you could be looking at a reraise if you call. From this limited information, I would say this is a pretty straight forward call though.

Don't have PT but villain was a horrible player. On a flop of K J 3 7

I saw him betting his 9 3o all the way to the river. Astonishing.

Just call here then ? I chose to push my $40 all-in preflop and push out the other two players. That was dumb. Very dumb. The other 2 folded like I wanted but that was way two risky.

After the hand, one of the guys who raises said, set of 6's in the chat box. I guess he raised with 66 . I perhaps saved some money by pushing all-in there and isolating but I doubt I pull this move again.

Right, save your isolation raises for your smaller pairs. As far as I can figure, the idea is to use them so you only face 2 overcards instead of 3 or 4. With QQ, there are always only 2 overs.

Villain had A 8 o . I lost the hand. He hit a pair of aces on the flop and two pair on the turn.

[ihardlyknowher]

But if you got all your money in with QQ against A8o, you won! Once you see why, all of the criticism you take here at 2+2 will go away and you will become a much better poker player.
