10+1 QQ UTG - what's the pre-flop move here?

Relatively new to the SnGs, how should I play this -- no relavant reads this early.

Well, lets see, you have three options:

Options 1: Push

You would want to push and hope to push UTG+1 out of the pot so you would be heads up with the cut off.

If UTG +1 calls your push and I understand the bets right, you will be getting about 1.8 to 1 pot odds on QQ. Unless he has AA or KK, you are in pretty good shape.


Option 2:

Call and see what comes on the flop (this is assuming UTG +1 doesn't reraise your call preflop). If nothing comes on the flop to help you, you can check/fold. You will still have t600 and the blinds are relatively low.

Option 3: Fold

Kinda dumb, but you could.

IMHO.
This is a 10/1. I would push. If UTG+1 has AA or KK, you are in trouble, but more than likely he has something like AK, AQ, or TT (or something worse). The C/O is shortstacked, so he could Ax, or a pp of somekind.

This is stll a risky play, but I would still do it on a 10/1 SNG just because I have seen some of the amazing stuff some people turn over when they get their chips all in.

Man, so when I started reading this post, my browswer cut it off just after

you have three options

push
--------

and i was really hoping to see that you wrote something like "eh, i was wrong, there's only push"

or

push,

push,

push.

Ditto. Folding is dumb, Calling is ok, but I love Pushing with Queens against idiots.

[suited_ace]

I prefer pushing because everyone in the hand has position on you.

Citanul, here are the threee options...

Push

Pooooossshhhh, or

I'm allin baby.

Just checking the validity of pushing versus calling and pushing an undercard flop.

Damn river aces.
(AKo v. A6 v. QQ)

Thanks for the reassurance.
