Do you call this?

[iturner187]

I am unsure as to how to play this hand. Obviously I want to be the person raising all in, but will I find a better spot to get my chips in?

Assume no reads on the villian.

Yes.

The only time you would consider folding this would be if you had a really good chance of folding into 3rd place and with a stack considerably smaller than you have in this example.
I would go as far as to say that if you never folded Queens you wouldn't make more than one mistake per 250 SNGs.

You're out of time to be choosy and you don't have much folding equity anyway.

You are no where near the money - you have 3 BBs left, and have one of the top 4 starting hands.

You will run into an underpair, AQ-Ax, KQ way more often than AA or KK. Even against AK your still 50/50.

I really hope you mean AK.

[Rolen]

This is almost the perfect spot to get your money in, assuming no-one else calls you're getting around 1.5/1 on your money with a hand that is almost certainly ahead.

[willie]

you have 3 bets left.

there is no choice here.

[Phil Van Sexton]

Is this an April Fools question?

You should be calling with hands MUCH worse than QQ here.

Exactly what I thought. Thanks for the input guys and gals.

WHat Phil said...and to boot...Unless BS is especially clever (doubt it) I usually see this PF move with medium pairs...i'd be surprised to even see AK here (which in reality is the ONLY hand I am even close to fearing here...no chance of AA, KK here, unless again, he is using reverse reverse psychology...who knows)

[Voltron87]

Call. Took me less than a second. You have QQ and 640 chips. All in.

Oddly enough, the past 3 times I've seen this move its been with AA. Granted, I'm still calling with QQ here about 120% of the time (give or take 20%).

[TheUsher]

You have to call this one since your stack is only 3xBB. If this were Level:1 though and it was an all-in to you, you might be able to have some arguments on folding it...
